Recently purchased, spent the day giving it a good clean.

2003, with 65K and in rare Carbon black. I'm told only 1 of 6 in this colour.

Nice.

What do they go like, in comparison to an E46 M3?

I've been looking this evening on the net for a set of 19" wheels, these wheels were on it when i bought it which imo aren't too bad especially with new tyres. I don't like the original Clubsport wheels if i'm honest and they tend to corode badly.

The E46 M3 is in a totally different league, the 330ci is a good alround car that can still hit 155mph. When i need speed i use my CBR1000RR smile

I had a 530 in carbon black - I thought it was more blue than black, but it looked well

So does yours, very swish

Yes Carbon black is black/ black in low light levels but when the sunlight is on it it has a blue hue to it.

Yeah i know what you mean, it's a bit 'marmite'. I think it looks ok on black.

Very nice , My next door neighbour has a 330 ci clubsport in what I would call Estoril blue.


The spoiler is part of the Clubsport pack Danny.
Certainly needs the CS wheels though.

Spoiler as said comes with this model, i personally like it. The CS wheels corrode badly and imo are not that nice looking. Clubsports also get the sport front bumper with corner splitters as standard as well as a short 'shift' gear lever. Economy is suprisingly ok for a 3.0L straight six lump, on cruise in 5th at 70mph i can get around 40 mpg and in town (non congested) i can get 27 mpg. Still can do around 155mph and a nice dollop of torque when needed so suits my needs.
