New User and new BMW

[Fiedka]

Hi everybody.
My first post here to say hallo. I have been lurking on forums for a while and more recently registered. A lot of good people and good banter here - hopefully I can get involved.
Now to introduce you to my recent purchase - I have wanted a manual inline 6 BMW for more than 20 years now and it’s finally here.
2009 330i SE Manual. Always wanted SE as I like sleeper look. Car has 16k miles on the clock and is really mint.
One owner from new before me with full BMW service history. Car looks like it could be sitting in a showroom.

Wow, 16k! Nice find!

[Fiedka]

Thank you.
It looks great even for 16k. All recalls done, interestingly injectors are not on the list according to BMW.
I am contemplating if I should go for BMW warranty at 60 a month. I only do 2000 miles a year.

Cracking car.

Looks immaculate outside and that cream interior makes it look special inside too.

[Fiedka]

Thank you.
Interior looks great but will be a pain to maintain. I may need to ban kids from travelling in it
One thing I thinking about is moving to 17 inch although with those alloys almost perfect it would be sad to let them go.

That looks lovely, and it's hardly been used.

Mind you I might be a bit biased as I have a 55 plate manual 330iSE, complete with 17" wheels! Although it's done 113K miles now, but still drives really well.

I didn't discover N/A straight 6 manual BMWs until 2014, but I'm trying to make up for lost time as I have numbers 5 and 6 now!

To keep those seats looking at their best you might want to avoid wearing new jeans in the car.

[Fiedka]

Good point!
Apparently that includes waxed jackets too meaning stripping down before driving off in autumn and winter

Congrats, looks great.

16k miles, that's genuinely 'just run in'. Enjoy!
