Newbie saying hi and a few pictures of my car so far
Hi all,
I'm Craig, 26 from Otley just north of Leeds. I'm new to the forum but not new to BMWs. I've come over from the E46zone. I've had my 318d for 4 months now and love it  So far i've added 19" Genuine BBS CH's Genuine BMW performance kidneys Smoked rear windows 335 style exhaust Genuine dummy shark fin   I also had a 320si for 6 months but didnt really take to it for some reason   And my old E46 which got me onto BMWs, changed everything inc porsche brembos   Loving the forum so far, keep up the good work!

Looks really nice, but i couldn't help but think - why did you get a 318d and then spend £1000's on genuine BBS CH's?!
How much are genuine BBS CH's? The replicas are about £600 IIRC, so genuines have got to be about £2.5-3k? |

The exhaust I get (looks great) but a dummy aeriel? That is bizarre. Nice-looking car though.

Chris - welcome to the forum, there are a few faces from E46Zone making the move over slowly (im Singh in case you didnt know!).
Car looks really nice mate - the LCI looks really fresh, and I now really want an E91 LCI. As for the BBS and the comment of spending X on them when you have a 318 - I think Chris already had the BBS rims from his E46 days - and anyway, there are many reasons why people might opt for a 318 - fuel, insurance, type of driving etc etc - so each to their own.

Which begs the question - why would anyone ever buy a 318d? The 320d has many benefits over the 318d, yet no drawbacks. I mean, 140bhp in a 1500kg car! I know many of us just want to pootle along and don't want some fire breathing monster of a car, but there is an acceptable level of performance - which i think the 320d delivers and the 318d most certainly doesn't. |

Hi Craig. My favourite alloy bar none. My last car had them and to secure the sale I ended up letting them go with the car quite cheap. If you ever want to sell them then consider me as I'd take another set
 Car is looking great and welcome to the forum. Have you considered a remap? It'll make the car much more enjoyable .. Rgds Dave

The car looks fabulous!!
I think the twin exhausts look good and I have no problem with you doing that mod. However I can't explain to myself (or anyone else) why I consider this modification acceptable, but at the same time I find that people putting M badges where they don't belong to be offensive. Any theories...........? |
