Hello guys, quick if anyone knows, these Manual units how many left on road, I've asked about it I'm getting 6 and 146 🤔 I know the Manual 330 ci clubsport are quite rare but how rare cheers. 

Hi Mark

Welcome to the Forum

If your car is a genuine manual 330ci M Clubsport it is indeed rare as the "Howmanyleft" web site shows 6 registered for the road and 1 sorn. Auto's show 143 licensed and 57 sorn.

The same site shows Registrations for Autos beginning in 2002 while Manual Registrations don't begin until 2005 with 3 Registrations

Unforunately the site shows the 330ci Clubsport with currently 363 Licensed and 158 Sorn. So if yours is 2003 it appears to indicate it is a Clubsport still rare just not as rare as the M Clubsport version, damn tasty motor all the same.

My own E53 X5 4.6is was only produced for sale in the UK for 2 years with peak registrations at 840 odd and around 200 odd left, difficult to tell now as the site lumps the 4.6 and 4.8is models together, it's a keeper though.

Hope this helps

Dave

Will these run on e10 fuel 🤔 if needed? I'm thinking 98 octane 

So we are lead to believe, that E10 will be fine in all engines Mark

But then again when Unleaded was introduced it took over a year and many claims before the Fuel Companies decided it wasn't good for engines designed to run leaded fuel?? So they had to keep leaded at the pumps for quite a few years.

Me I will put Octane booster in every few tanks 😁
