Just bought a 330d coupe - arctic silver red leather
Discussion
So I thought I would say hi.
Car before last was a 316 SE saloon. Facelift E46. Was a great car but broke down on the wife a couple of times. Tricky diagnosis - the inlet air hose was collapsing which killed the engine dead. In the middle of busy roads. Freaked her out a couple of times! Then could cool down, stiffen and pop open again. Until next time! Decided to sell after than. Silly move looking back.
So... next car was a Golf 2.0 TDI. I fancied a pokey diesel. Wifey wanted a Golf for some unknown reason. Again, has been a great car. Had it 3 years and it never put a foot wrong. Even starting first turn after 2 week holidays. But I've been itching for a BMW again for a long time. I watched the ads in Autotrader for months before spotting a 330d E92 in a garage down the road from me. It was silver with coral red leather. I went along to laugh thinking it would look a bit ridiculous. But might be worth a test drive until a better colour combination appeared. But instead it looked awesome. Its not really silver.... its arctic silver. I am sure you good folks here know what that looks like. Its fully loaded too. Professional sat nav, voice control, bluetooth, flappy paddle auto blah blah blah.
I have not really had the chance to give her the full beans. (Still talking about the car.) But the fuel needle drops a LOT faster than the Golfs. Computer says 25mpg around town. I guess that is par? But I don't care because my E92 is a dream for me.

Sounds very nice Mark but needless to say we'll be needing to see some pics please ! Car before last was a 316 SE saloon. Facelift E46. Was a great car but broke down on the wife a couple of times.

BTW my 330i is returning 29mpg at an average speed of 22mph on the current tankful... just a thought
