A couple of weeks ago I sold the 2012 320d (f30) and bought a 2015 330d m sport - Alpine white with Black interior.
M sport plus pack
Professional navigation
Enhanced bluetooth
Heated electric front seats with memory
Exterior folding mirrors

What a car - I am so impressed.

I have clocked up about 900 miles so far and each time I drive it - just keeps getting better and better.

Still playing with the sat nav and finding out all the things this car has got.



First job - change grilles - pics added - before and after.

Love white cars - very nice. Debadged as well.

Looking good, the black grills look so much better especially on the AW, maybe next could be some silver vision front indicator bulbs to remove the orangey look?

[Chompers]

That looks very nice, de-badged perfect

[Rbrown]

Nice colour....nice engine!

Enjoy!

[CazuaLLUK]

Nice!

I know a 320d would have done my needs just fine, but once I drove the 330d and felt the torque, acceleration and (for a diesel) noise I knew there was no point trying a 4 cyl. I would have been always wishing I had that bit extra performance.

Looks good in white, don't see many M sport 330d's in white

Awesome, what did you pay etc. Deal info as I take it you handed back in your 320d?

[Notechy]

I don't generally like mods for aesthetic reasons, but I do like your black grills on white. Enjoy.

£13850 for 320 at main dealers - and 330 was 25k.

Must admit another 320d would have suited my needs too, but after trying a 330 I had to have one.

Had been looking for a while as I wanted the m sport with pro nav and I particularly wanted white ( doesn't suit all cars but think the 3 series looks great).

The m sport plus pack was a bonus with the harmon kardon hi fi, zenons, sun protection glass, m sport brakes and 19 inch wheels - not something that I had been looking for but very nice to have.

So all in all I'm well pleased.

Was the 330d used? what was the transition period like? Like how long did the process take?

330 was a year old (auc) - saw it on the net - dealer was about 80 miles away- put 1k deposit, over the phone and as it had already been through the approved used check and valeted , went down a couple of days later, test drive and took it away the same day.
This was all subject to the car being as described and my 320 being in the condition that I had stated, obviously.

Have put about 900 miles on in the last two weeks and am enjoying every minute.

Awesome, looks like a good way to do things. Happy for you!

Looks almost identical to mine. Great combo on a great car. Enjoy it pal
