Welcome to the forum!!

Not in mint condition, and does need new brake disks/pads, but otherwise a very nice car and still going strong - BMW 330i GREAT CAR!!

Took a look at it a week or so ago and was pretty impressed, but price for the condition, age, mileage is too high! Also, one of the plastic jack point cups is sitting loose in the boot, so possible issues underneath, maybe a minor issue though. Wheels need to be refurbished - newish Hankook RFT's. Some bumps and bruises to take car of, but not bad. If I had spare cash and space I would easily buy it!

nice 1, will have a look in the week

330d is so far the best car I have ever driven! Pure power and amazingly economical.

The biggest risk is the turbo blowing, but to be honest after finding out that a brand new one is R9500.00 its not that bad, take proper care of the car, let it idle for a bit when you have stopped driving etc make sure you follow the oil service intervals properly and you shouldn't really have any problems.

My advice is to test drive a nice healthy 330d and make your mind up from there.

How much for one of these promotech exhausts?

A 325ci is a beautiful car, but in my opinion you will be very unhappy with the performance of the car very quickly! and as far as mods go it will cost a hell of a lot more to get good performance out of that car vs a 330d which only requires 3 things (Decat + Down pipe + Software) and you will be in the 700nm range!

To get a 325ci to those figures you will need to spend tens of thousands!

I have had a 325i, 325 convertable and a 525i, performance is a big problem on those engines! all 3 of them had similar consumption, 12 - 14.9 l/100 in town driving conditions.

You will need to do the vanos on that 325ci! not a hard job to do at all.

If you are not worried about performance then a 325ci is a beauty! what year is that ci? looks to be 2003 or 2004 from the LED back lights??

so i had my car serviced at 808 with clint and adele ,

i booked the car in on the 15th for the 24th , met clint and adele and was suprised to see that clint works alone ,
had a long chat with him and was very impressed with his confidence and knowledge of bmw ,
the best thing for me about this workshop is that its not too big to just be another car on the lift and your car is tended to by the owner himself , he also did a poper check all round .all in all im very happy with 808 and will be using them from now on.also my service intervals will be every 15000km now just to keep things fresh ,

collected the car and it was alot more responsive felt more solid too,
:thumbs:

thanks 808
