Acquired this a couple months ago and just got it back on the road. Bought it de-registered and all it required was a right front door and driver's side guard, some paint and repair cert for compliance. Got it all done and dusted, complied, registered and some RUCs for 7k all up which I am not complaining about. She has been a beautiful car. All I have added thus far is a front splitter and the mirror caps which I bought online for measly dollars. Will be updating this as I go along my journey. It came on these factory 19 inch wheels but looking to get some 3 piece 20 inch wheels for it and lower it a tad on H&R super sport springs. Currently doing 117k and will go up as I commute - a lot! Here's some pics

Picked up the new sensible car / wifes daily - 2014 F31 320d MSport in Alpinweiss III. I've always thought BMW do the best looking wagons, so stoked to have one in the fleet in a great looking, low maintenance colour. Fresh import 76km and in absolutely fantastic condition - I don't know how the Japanese manage to keep their cars in such amazing shape?! Early days, but really loving the look and the M Sport interior. Powertrain is plenty in the real world, definitely sounds like a diesel at idle but meh - seems pretty damn efficient! 'Modern' cars are bloody nice with all the fruit for sure. Comfort access / electric tailgate etc. Came on new staggered 19" BMW replica wheels of some sort (anyone know what style?) and some cheapo tyres, but the fitment is excellent and it looks good - may upgrade the tyres in due course but they are brand new and already overspent a little on the car. Plans for it so far (most parts en-route) are: Euro Plate Black Kidneys Black Mirror Caps Paint or wrap the M Performance style front splitter black (AKA sacrificial bumper) Floor mats (didn't come with any) Tints(?) wanting the black and white look and seems to have very light factory tints - look dark in the shade but very light in daylight Wireless Carplay Bimmercode to do all the custom options / disclaimer deletes etc Looking forward to doing some road trips in this!

I'm thinking of selling my 330i next year, it might tick some boxes for you. It's higher km but with good service history, I've spent a lot on the usual M54 things. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-Kw4RsE4FKP9GdL8LFC_DJ_DqObRDxkt

" I just assume they do it in high risk areas, and it's hard to envisage any high risk on such a straight and flat road." It is clear that most droids making decisions on roading (such as city councils) don't take a risk management or actuarial or even a staistical approach. It was a largekly straight flat road. It was easy to execute safe overtakes. Used appropriately, a decent RADAR detector should reduce the liklihood of you contributing to the consolidated fund, or a police officer's quota.

It's something that is a consideration, and Andy and I have spoken.

Christmas update ! Now at 314,000miles , 505,000km just keeps ticking them up, albeit a bit slower lately. If anyone is interested in being its next owner, im having thoughts about moving it on. I have 5 cars that remain in the fleet (19 BMWs in total at the moment) , probably should get the number down a bit. Needs an enthusiast owner that will keep putting the miles on! Can come on the m parallels with virtually brand new tyres, or on standard e46 wheels. Could do with either paint or a wrap. I havent got to rebuilding the driveshaft yet, but thats the only thing that needs to be done. I havent done it because i have a manual conversion here for it which is diesel specific and could go with it. oh too sevin 3079322

Also converted a couple of 123d`s. One to a manual with origional N47 and another to M57N2.

Awesome car.

'tis mine. For sale shortly.To the owner of BMTHUG (e30 325i).. Your car is sex.
