well iv`e had my 330 for just over 2 weeks now,it has thrown loads at me it this time, 1,she over heated last week,fan did not kick in ,(my fault)came back to a icelandic volcano ,split the expantion tank ,cooked my water pump,thermostat,2,she can be apain getting in to 1st gear,although bmw say the gear box oil is for life ,i will change it before winter,3, the door trim is sagging,i can sort this but is a pain,now im finding out that she won`t start on the first turn of the key,this is not happening everytime,im led to beleave this could be the fuel pump pressure ?,not putting fuel in the rail?,BUT ,done a 75 mile trip today,its a smooth rewarding drive ,with a 32 mpg , and leather seats that keep you comfortable all the way ,yet the good still seems to out way the bad,bring on the 19" new m3 wheels :).

now i can`t make my mind up,i like the idea one less thing in the way when cleaning,i will sleep on it .

i think you are right,i debadged the other bmw cars i had ,but this one will stay :)

should i be proud of my 330 ci logo ,or should i remove to keep its identity top secret,?

the only thing i would say is that you could just change them anyway,just done my belt with other things think my belt was £27.00.changed my water pump (uprated),thermo,and put new fan on,although not had car long so im sure others will come along and give you a more informed answer.as above :).

thanks for the welcomes,my skylines were alot of fun sound great,insurance was soso,unlike the wrx which was silly,and im 44,i like this 330 alot ,although ive already sent her in to have a new water pump,belt,thermo,ect.

hi,just got my 3rd bm,got my self a e46 330 ci :),in years gone by ive had a e36 320 vert,and a e46 325 se sport,just sold my classic wrx,which i do miss,and have owned 2 r33 skylines,always wanted a 330,and i love the shape of the 46,anyway hope to get to some meets,sorry rushing got to go to work,shall i walk mmm no bm it is then,catch you later.
