330d_Mein Luxus-Rakete

[Spannie]

Hi guys

After lurking on this - and other - forum, I finally got my hands on my 2006 E90 330d M/t. So far I haven't put a lot of kays on the clock personally, but I have had loads of fun with it! I picked the car up yesterday (20 October), the moment I saw it and drove it, I knew this was my car.

Coming from VAG, my previous cars were all fwd, and the majority were diesels. My Polo TDI Sportline was stolen from me on my birthday about 6 weeks ago, and this 330d is the result of that whole ordeal. I've always wanted a rear wheel drive car, and the only manufacturer that checked all the boxes was BMW - the Audi A4 feels really detached and I much prefer the involved drive which the BMW offers.

So here she is, pretty much a plain Jane now, but I'm planning on doing a few cosmetic mods and probably wheels/suspension somewhere along the line.

First pic with my car, proud as hell! :rollsmile:

And driving her home...

First mod hopefully tonight

The torque is awesome! I've giggled like a child while flooring it in 2nd gear and feeling the car squirming under the force of acceleration :biglol:

Thanks for the welcome Arbee! So far I'm loving the car! Mileage is at 151xxxkm. I want to find out from you how difficult it would be to do the decat and remove the DPF (if possible)?

Last night I put some leather care on the seats - damn the seats still look new, I'll snap a photo later.

Oh I am! It's such a tower of power, and so civilised. I got 22.2km/l this morning on the highway to work. Just spectacular!
