Just though id post some "before and after" pics so i can see its progress from the beginning to now. Pictures dont really do the money and effort that's gone in to it that much justice tbh.

you really can see the difference.
do the wind deflector things actually do anything?
did you get the sun roof fitted?

Thanks :D
Wind deflectors block the wind hitting your face when say going down a motorway, ideal for smokers and the sunroof was a rare factory fit option, think the car was an ex demo as it had all the trimmings i.e. leathers, double din sat-nav etc, sunroof etc.

the before and after of the pics with the sunroof up the other pic looks like you dont have one must be just the image.

Heres some old pics of it whe i first got it, you can see it now cause the sunroof's open.

here it is a bit bigger, lights reflecting off it but you can see the line of the sunroof near the roof bar lines

Everyone seems to be selling! What you got? Obviously a diesel maybe a e92 3 series you were looking at?

My brother has the 335d coupe 280 odd horsepower! We're having a race when the r is stage 1! Black too I guess? Good choice John!

yer i think mines 230bhp odd and the acceleration on it is imense, if mpg wasnt an issue and i had a few more pennies i might of opted for the 335 twin turbo. gonna get mine mapped :D

shame your selling up

but you have a nice replacement there.

remapped and your looking at similar bhp and torque figures to the 335d

i found out the hard way how quick a remapped 330d is coming off a roundabout in my scooby.
it left me for dust lol

Shame you didn't get to experience yours at her full potential though John, but give it a few weeks and you won't regret that! When do you pick the new one up?
