335i and feeling the pinch?

RagingKileak · 04-28-2009, 10:25 AM

Fancy a P/X for a 335D M-Sport?

I am just curious... I like my car - but I like petrol as well...

I had a little chat with Tony the other day and although he didnt realise it, well I need to hear some explosions or fire or something when I am pwning the tarmac... the diesel just cant do that...

Anyway, this is a legit idea - I have no doubt if noone is interested I will remap my D and be quite happy for quite a while longer, but its worth testing the water.

Mine is Black w/Black leather, 40,000 miles, 2007/07 FBMWSH and recently done a few expensive Service Indicators. Warranty, bought from a main dealer etc... Alpine kit is the only mod, has pronav, dab, ipod kit, heated seats etc etc.

blah blah blah, you will PM me if you wanna know more I guess - the Northern Meet turnout members can vouch for the condition, which I think is v.good in and out.

I dont care if you car is a Coupe/Saloon, Manual/Auto, etc etc but an M-Sport is essential and so is a HIGH spec, Sat Nav is minimal, as is DAB. Miles equal to me or less and around same age or newer...

Cash either way for the right car guys

what didnt tony realise?

RagingKileak · 04-28-2009, 10:41 AM

He didnt realise I had changed my entire Ethos

Matt

dxb335d · 04-28-2009, 10:42 AM

Whilst talking to him?

RagingKileak · 04-28-2009, 10:46 AM

Yeah... it was a conversation about exhausts...

Anyway, as I said - I like the D, and I will keep it if I dont get a deal I fancy but I am definately thinking I want petrol...

Noise, revs, more options for tuning etc.

Matt

dxb335d · 04-28-2009, 10:58 AM

whydid you buy the D in the first place again?

Because its a great car - i didnt realise at the time that the petrol would meet my company car criteria!

I have had it a while now anyway so a change wouldn't hurt!

Matt

dxb335d · 04-28-2009, 11:23 AM

Cool, i was hoping you were going to take over my mantle of the 335d speed freak..

I was hoping you were going to go far with the tuning and break some records.

Best of luck with the sale I say sale because you would be better off selling privately and buying a cheaper 335i!

RagingKileak · 04-28-2009, 11:32 AM

Well im not desperate to sell it mate!

I just wondered if it was something someone here was interested in.

Anyway, lets see. . . As i said, no sign of anything good and i will change my mind!

Is there anyone else on this site with the same car as Carlos with the remap? I wonder if anyone has done a quicker 1/4 mile than you...with the same exact car??

Anyone?

Anyone?

theres quite a few mapped 335Ds here me thinks. however they dont think theyre prepared to do a few hundred odd runs down the Santa Pod strip!

dxb335d · 04-28-2009, 02:23 PM

Thing is, there have been plenty of stock 335d's and mapped 335d's down the strip... does not garuntee you a great time.

Every car is slightly different, as is driver technique.

The day we went Kin together, a 335d was there all day apparently and could not get below 13.5

RagingKileak · 04-28-2009, 03:27 PM

Sigh lol - keep it on topic :P

Matt

before you change motors again, any chance you can knock out a 12.9?

Matt,it might seem a crazy suggestion, but why not do a search of your local (ish) BMW dealers for a 335i that matches your spec, and is a near as dammit spec to your 'D' and see if they will do a deal.

It might be worth a shot,nothing ventured, nothing gained?

If all else fails, I'd be tempted to have a chat with Ant @ SR,I'm sure he could sort out some goodies that could reignite the fire of the big 'D'.

RagingKileak · 04-28-2009, 04:44 PM

None anywhere near me mate

But yeah I will check!!

Matt

Ben335i · 04-29-2009, 03:24 AM

Is it a coupe or saloon Matt?

Cheers

Ben

RagingKileak · 04-29-2009, 03:25 AM

Saloon mate.

Matt

dxb335d · 04-29-2009, 03:27 AM

Oh i thought yours was Coupe Matt.

RagingKileak · 04-29-2009, 03:30 AM

'fraid not mate - I actually prefer the Saloon bodyshape, but it really makes no difference to me.

My only concern was M-Sport over SE in whichever shape just for my own preference really.

Oddly enough, I thought it was a Coupe I was off to look at when I bought it, but thats another story!!

The E36 boys will debate until the end of time that Saloons handle better too due to a cross member under the rear seats but I strongly doubt I can tell the difference there either.

Matt

doughboy · 04-29-2009, 04:18 AM

Go for the 335i, you won't regret it! - saloon too.

Well EVO mag rates the saloon E90 M3 as a better drive than the coop version........ saloon is cooler IMO too!

All coops, not just BM, are a bit Garth Cheeseman - IMHO of course ;-)
