BMW 330D M Sport Saloon (F30).
It's a 2.2, with the final to-do being an SC conversion (if I can stop buying watches!!!). I've done the chassis stuff first.
1144 mintex pads
TD 1.2 16/17's + Toyo R1R
Quantum racing 'Black' adjustables
Custom geometry
ITG carbon maxogen air kit
Larini exhaust
Lots of carbon interior bits.
Is anyone brave enough to admit they have a 1996 Mondeo

The best thing I've ever used on alloy wheels.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
My current garage
You'll be pleased to hear, nothing integral! The pothole ridden roads in surrey mean I've had a new alloy, wheel bearing and tyre (pricey combo!), windscreen washer jets serviced (filters blocked!) and the front near side plastic wing needed some diagnostics for a bad rattle and got realigned. Probably my own stupid fault for using a main dealer!

Just seen this. Are you still using run flat tyres? I think cracked alloys are a common problem with e90 3 series BMWs with the run flat tyres fitted.
The previous owner of my e91 330d had to replace 2 cracked rear alloys and fix the resulting damage to the suspension. I've now replaced all 4 run flats with normal tyres and it's so much nicer to drive - less crashy and no tram lining. I just have a can of puncture repair foam in the boot.
Nice ... The ISF / GSXR combo is fantastic ....
And never seen an SLS in red ... looks awesome .....
For me ....
My cars are quite mundane currently:
We have a Scirocco 2.0 TSFI and a Mini Cooper Convertible...
Bikes are more interesting :)
Ducati Multistrada, 996 and 999R .....
Pleased with the new wheels but rather lacking on the thrill of driving front...
On Friday I took this back;
And drove away a new face lifted model. The changes are only slight, but overall make for a much more enjoyable car.
No, I didn't unfortunately. By all accounts the PSE is pretty good too. I also considered the 'Gundo' side muffler hack plus cross pipes to eliminate centre rear muffler as a much cheaper option. Gundo on its own very similar to sound of PSE I believe. In the end, I managed to land the Tubi at a good price. Normal retail is pretty stiff...
^ Looks like a proper brute. What are the specs?
I have a range rover for daily use although I do consider the SL to be my reliable car !
Nice freelander, my knackered old td4 won't die after 155k and not the easiest life...but for the vast part I have a e93 330d cabrio and the wife has a Mini Cooper d
After 4 years of searching...

She had red indicators, but in US spec.
I had to change the lamps, before registering in EU.
I know that Carrera S should have red, like the Turbo, but orange looks better IMO :)
Now she is lowered a bit, like EU models.
Beautiful 928 in great condition. Congratulations!
Thank you. What was odd was, having made an appointment to see it on Saturday, I noticed an article in the new issue of Classic Cars which came out on Friday that compared the 928 with several other eighties cars and the 928 they featured was the one we bought - spooky coincidence. Not looking forward to the fuel bills though
