Once of my friends is getting his delivered tomorrow. Nice looking cars. Taking it to Le mans this year so a good long road test :)

[andrewparker]

Oli, I thought you were going to keep hold of the Golf for a while. What happened?

[WhiteGTI]

Very nice indeed! I've spent many hours in 335d's evaluating them before the UK launch! Truly awesome car, however I feel that it will make the 911 seem pretty slow in a straight line!

What do you mean red/brown leather? As in are you going for a two-tone option from the Individual range?

Nice one Oli, almost identical spec, I also went for the Bad Boy 19" wheels (may paint black), should be here in 3-4 weeks.

I'm not sure what wheels I'm putting on. Maybe some Vmr713 in 19" and matt black with proper Tyres on.

The wifes got them on her 320d touring, I can just manage the odd drive !! The rear on the 335i are 255 x 30 19's so may be a bit restricted on choice.

When I had my last 335, the car had covered no more than 50 miles from new when I took thr RFTs off and put Alpina Dynamics on it, with the bigger 265 tyre on the rear, the ride was transformed, and I even had H and R springs on it!  I am thinking about the same wheel again, as another option.

Just because I am a picture whore;







And if anyone is good at photoshop, can you change the wheels on this Alpina to black for me please, just to to give me an idea of how it might look



Neil, what are the plans for yous?  And whats the full spec?

[gobbleplease]

 

Great choice mate.

The new 1 series is due to be released in 2012 i quite fancy the 2.0t petrol or the twin turbo 3 liter they use just now.

I've looked into the BMW Performance range, they do some carbon bits, Brake (yellow) and suspension upgrade and a performance engine kit, gives 450Nm & extra 20hp. Not much of an increase though for £1,125 + labour, waiting to hear if that affects the warranty.

Also had a chat with Saun @ AMD who has fitted milltek & mapped 335i to around 380bhp no problem.  

I was going to get the wheels powder coated black before I picked it up, but I'm going to wait a while now and also look at some decent rubber.

I will still do some ¼ sprints but not sure I have the balls to take it on track,  Greenlight Insurance won't cover cars over £30k so no track day Insurance from them.

 Looking forward to some RWD.
