My time here is drawing to a close......
« on: October 14, 2009, 04:24:11 pm »
......I've been offered good money for my GT170D so it's time for it to leave my ownership.

After 46000 miles, with only one issue (a sensor needed replacing), and @ 200+bhp since 800 miles old i shall be replacing it next week with this :







It's a 335d - 286bhp 430lbs/ft as std, one of the BMW 'Individual' range.

Presented in Arctic, with full leather, pro nav, iDrive, 19's, auto light's/wipers, garage opener, folding mirrors, media pack, comfort key/entry and start, + load of crap i've forgotten.

It's alittle older than i wanted, but with the spec and price i'm happy.



It's been a great forum, good bunch of people.

Nice one mate, looking at 335i myself (none of that devils fuel!)  :signLOL:

With the second hand prices for these 335i's/335d's im still amazed a lot of people opt for S3's as i can see much in it after a map?

Has to be a white one for me!

I looked at a few of these before going for my S3 but it would have looked as though I was driving my dads car!  :chicken:

Have to agree although an S3 isnt a young guys hot hatch? I dont look very old (you can see in the random chat what do you look like thread)

I doubt many people believe the R32 is mine anyway, not many young people buy them as there all after easily tunable cars!

Nice mate, those engines are awesome. My Dad has that engine in a 5 series M Sport. His partner has had two also, both in X5's. One was remapped to 370ish brake with a WHOOOOOOLE load of torque! The new one is soon to be mapped also! DMS automotive are awesome with these engines btw!


Tom looks young too, and suits the S3, and course its a young hot hatch you goon! lol

Since when were £30k hatches 'young hot hatches'? When they came out they were driven by businessmen and still mostly are; same as the R32. There not really hot hatches either, more grantourers!
