Really happy with my purchase, it's a 2007 330i with Dakota lemon interior. My 205 gti has been put away for a while as it needs a bit of work so this is my toy for the time being. Ordered a few bits and pieces for it but currently looking for a rear defuser and black grills.

Great colour combination, far too nice to adorn with stick on diffusers and black grilles IMO

Nice. Is it a manual? Xenons too.

Agreed, the bloody black grille crew!

Just get the dark-line rear lights and be done with it IMHO!

Auto I'm afraid, found it hard to get a nice manual. Does indeed have Xenons!

Will get more pictures of the interior, it really is a nice colour combination.

Not much love for the black grills, might give them a miss.

Good choice!

I've had my 330i M-Sport for nearly 4 years now and although I could really do with something with a bit more space there really isn't anything (I can afford!) to replace it.

The power / running cost ratio really is superb. 260bhp, around 27-30mpg (real world) and MOT and service from main dealer is usually £120-£200 every year.

Only thing I would change is the ride which is a bit harsh sometimes.

Again im not keen on the black grills, however it's your car so you are free to do what you please with it. Just because a few people on here don't like things and ultimately wouldn't fit them to their own cars does not mean that you should not fit them to your own car. I say if you like the black grills and diffuser then go ahead and fit them.

Good honest advice.

Black grills normally come on the 4 cylinder models don't they?

They all get the chrome surrounds but you are correct the 6 cylinders cars get chrome slats instead of black slats, but I think it's all changed now on the newer models & anything goes.

I had black grills on my 325i M Sport, black is the only colour that can carry them off IMO.
