Hey guys,

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm super happy that I found a 330i like this as I have been searching for a very long time now.

Some quick pics I took this morning at the tire shop.

Got the front headlight lenses refurbished at Ettiene from CCD and it made a huge difference to the front end.

I'll give her a nice wash this weekend and do a photoshoot with the Ti.

did you specifically not want a sunroof?

 

[VinceM]

Is that the sun issue or the car has two shades of colour silver grey?

Not specifically, but I appreciate the fact that is doesn't have a sunroof. Unnecessary weight at the highest point of the vehicle.

Think it's my phone trying to filter the picture because of the sun. All panels have matching paint except the front bumper which has had spray work for stone chips.

I noticed the same on driver side bud...rear door and panel looks lighter than the rest of the car. Luckily just the picture quality.

Congrats @"gumpertapolloss". Very rare in this spec as mentioned. Wish you many many happy kms!

I think this car is so shiny, the reflection of the background confuses the eye. Dont think the photos will be the truth, but should be able to tell in person.

Congratulations and welcome to the best DD ever!

Looks like a really nice example, and I am sure your careful maintenance schedule and attention to detail will soon have this in tip top condition.

Interior pics plz

 

[gumpertapolloss]

How many KM's?

Yes and more pics please

Thank you kind Sir.

I got her on 230xxxkm. Already sitting on 230780km after just 4-days of ownership.

Not specifically spirited driving. I actually think the 325ti is the better car for spirited driving. I'm just not the biggest fan of Sunroof. Person preference I'd say.

I think you are correct. I have gone through the paint work a few times and all matches up. Silver cars just has this tendency to confuse a camera lense.

As mentioned, some beautiful pictures coming up this weekend.

Dankie Mr. Ford....

This car drives so amazing even by today's standards. I can just imagine how special it was back in 2004. The car has a few small niggles that I have to attend to, but nothing major compared to the 325ti.

I saw a picture of a Maroon 330i with a tan interior that you owned once upon a time and that picture caught my attention immediately. With that picture in mind and often driving in my mates 330i I knew I had to own one some or other time.

Quick before and after of the headlights.

Thank you Ettiene from Creative Car Detailing. I would recommend him anyday of the week as his work is impeccable and the pricing is very reasonable.

He still has it

Headlight lenses are such a small thing to do, but the visual improvement is so much more, just amazing!

Hey guys,

I still haven't had time to snap some pics of the interior, but I'm doing a photoshoot of the two cars tomorrow which will lead to some nice interior and exterior pictures.

For now, here are some pics I snapped at the garage tonight when I went to go and fill up.

Still enjoying the car a lot as a daily drive and I haven't had any issues thus far.
