Howsit gents, im new here

[Louwtji]

Howsit guys, im new on this forum, well ive been registered for a while and browsing but havent really introduced myself yet. I currently own an Opel Astra GTC, but i have a few potential buyers so its time for an upgrade (E90 320D or 330D).

Reason why i registered was to gain more info on the E90 diesels, but eish....im struggling....

Anyways ill ask all my questions a bit later on. Here are some pics of my current cabby....

Welcome Bud... I just brought a 323i E90 M Tech and I feel like I can kick myself for not going bmw all these years. :thumbs:

 

[OppositeLockMT]

Welcome!

I would go for a 330d if the budget permits.

 

[Louwtji]

@heopolis - thats the exact colour that 320d is !!

@opposite- i want the 330d....but i have a buyer for my car, and if he takes it i need to get another car before end march...so im gona be a bit tight on getting a 330d....EVENTHOUGH MY HEART BLEADS FOR ONE !!!!!

Welcome bud. :thumbs:

Great cars- my 1.3 Tdi did 100k with only one gearbox replaced:rollsmile:
I kinda turned it into an SMG cos I got tired of pressing the clutch

 

[Naruto]

Welcome and goodluck on your 320d

Is it auto or manual?

 

[Louwtji]

That one is auto.....this raises one of my many questions...
Why are almost all the 320 and 330d in auto?? Are there any manuals out there?

 

[ChefDJ]

I don't want a manual luxury sedan. Manual sports car or bakkie, ja... Sedan must be effortless driving :rollsmile:

 

[Twinz]

Lovely action pics of the opel :thumbs:

Welcome to the forum man.
Always good to get some info before just buying and you will definitely find it here no doubt.

as for your current ride, very nice car. :thumbs:

 

[Louwtji]

Thanks for the compliments on the Opel guys, didnt think any would actually even notice it hehe, will definately upload more pics of it as soon as i get my photobucket account up and running again....have quite a few action shots.

Concerning the auto and man option.....its just that i personally dont like an automatic....not even dsg....drove a gti with dsg and didnt like it.....just a personal thing i think.....but if there are no manuals out there ill propably have to go with auto

Yeah i have SOOOO many questions on the diesels etc, but will only bother you guys bout that when i know my car is sold.

 

[ChefDJ]

Nothing wrong with a BMW's auto :rollsmile: DSG I'm not a fan of
