Advice: f30 330d

I saw this car at Clint's place last week and couldn't believe how clean and well looked after this car is. I've gone to see a good couple of 330D's around the country and this is right up in the top 1% of them in my opinion.

I'm also an overthinker and over planner, so my advice is, for now, you just got the car so don't forget to enjoy it and live in the moment :)

The mileage is also very low, so I think you have some time to plan and budget for that costly 100000km service, so start saving and planning but more importantly, don't forget to also just enjoy the new ownership experience.

I'm also in Lenasia so hope to meetup with you and Mo soon!
Thx bru, appreciate it. He did tell me you were amazed with the car. Just did my discs and brakes now so im sorted for a good time. Overall maintenance is not bad considering a monster 3.0 litre.

Definitely bru, i would love to meet up and have a run . Take care, one of the days we'll meet.

Yusuf, your car is really clean and well looked after, stop stressing about 100k maintenance, its a long way to go. besides we will only look at changing whats worn down or damaged at 100k. doesn't mean at 100k everything's going to need attention. so you are safe. just maybe save up a little bit every month for when the time comes, if you dont use the money on maintenance, you can go on holiday or do something nice..

For now just enjoy the car, warm it up before driving hard and cool it down after you had your fun. Take care of the new brakes and go easy on them while they bedding in.

Look after the car, have fun with it, its going to serve you well.
Danko Mr Clint, your reply means a hellaver lot.

The maintenance at 100 000km is absolutely crazy bru, having 2nd thoughts whether I should've got the car. What price do u reckon I get for it?

Congrats and whalecum to the fam!

Can see you're SUPER happy and exited about the car, my kid has the same reaction to everything. Gets something new and spends 10 000 hours on Youtube doing research to the point that he starts self inflicting PTSD on himself about concerns that MIGHT come up :ROFLMAO:

Same advice will be given though.. kalmeer... haal asem en ontspan die boude.

Just enjoy the car for now, nothing else. You have a healthy mindset regarding the ZF service before coming on here asking what Temu wing and interior accessories we might recommend.

One thing I live by though when picking up something new to you is getting it booked for a deep detail session and ceramic coat, so if you want to treat both yourself and the car, there's that.

Other than that, posting images weekly is mandatory here, so don't slip up ;)

Yip, that will be an absolutely sick spot to meet up. Highway driving has been a pleasure so far.

Lol, im actually laughing reading this post because i already did a temu order finished and got a spoiler from my uncle which is fitted already. Booked the zf for the first December, can't wait haha. Then I was thinking of doing a full decon, clay bar, hand polish and ceramic coating but need professional experience. Doing the touch up paint and polishing with a machine is a bit tricky. But most probably just gonna send it to a top guy to do it.

Farouks valet on Flamingo street, really isn't bad. His pricing is honestly very reasonable. Go past him one of the days, he doesn't have a fancy showroom or anything but it's a father and son business and they are very honest.

Highly appreciate it, will go past tomorrow and check him out. Is he meticulous?
