Good day Gents
I don't know if some of you can recall, but I was posting a while ago asking between the F20 120d, F20 125i when I wanted to trade in my 2011 X3 Msport.
After shopping for a long time I stumbled upon a white 2011 320d Msport, e90, 34 000km on the clock. Fantastic - 2 days later it was mine.
I couldnt justify paying ontop of my trade in to get the new 1 series even though it was great ride when I owned one in germany.
My point is - e90 320d ! WOW.
raise: What a car, it really took me by surprise how much power that thing got. Sexy as hell and love the options to modify it with black.
I do find the automatic gearbox a bit "harsher" than that which I had on the X3. But as its under MP I am not too worried if something would go wrong.
I drove it hard from Cape Town to Mosselbay, and it went up to 8.5/100km, which was reasonable.
On my new tank I am driving it very grandma-like [not going over 2300 revs plus the occasional overtake] and I am getting 6.5 - 6.7/100km in town, robots, plus a 10 km highway commute.
Will I be able to drop underneath the 6/100km range?
I tested it once from Mosselbay to George going at 125kmh cruise controle [6.5/100km], and it was the same as when I was going 135 or even 140kmh [6.5 bordering on 6.6/100km] on my way back.
All I can say is that I am glad to have gone for the e90 diesel, powerful and sexy looking and a divine drive...
:inlove::inlove::inlove:
PS, who could I contact with regard to the following mods [I am situated in the Western Cape area]
Exhaust tips
Mat Black Kidneys [just need to get the manual, already have got the spray]
Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
Carbon Fiber Boot Spoiler
Carbon Fiber Door Pillars
Mat Black Powder Coated Rims
Any advise would be appreciated.

- So what figures could I be expecting? Or hoping for?
- How could I improve the figures?
- Mod wise, best place to darken the rims?
- What other mods could I do visual vise and engine wise whilst keeping my MP?
