I tock the 330d coupe auto out yesterday but didnt like the auto probably because I am use to a manual. can any one give me there opinion on this subject ie good or bad experience's.

Thanks

Thousands of hours and millions of R & D euros have been spent, engineering the cabins of the best Teutonic carriages, to insulate the occupants from the terrible racket that is the dag-dag.

So, why on eath do you want to want to take the roof off and listen to it ?


Unless you've gone either deaf or mental, you should keep the Porsche

Buy a 330i or buy a Coupe. You dont want to lower the roof on a nice Summers day and here dagdagdagdagdagdagdagdagdag.

I noticed he edited the 'dagdag' out too! Get a coupe, drop-tops are for wives and poseurs IMO of course

Far more important buddy take the car round many many normal streets and think "can I handle sitting in a car which even Fred Flinstone would find uncomfortable."


Fred was lucky he had stone wheels before RunFlats had been invented.

The best Marque in the uk totally compromised.

I ditched the runflats and normal service is now resumed
