@BigPoppa have updated my listing for the 330d with more photos now.

Unfortunately not much at all, previous owner (old guy who owned the car for a long time) misplaced the service records and wasn’t able to find them. that being said, happy to arrange viewings, test drives etc. Car drives really well.

Finally got round to getting some photos. 9000ono for bimmersport members before I list it on trademe, Facebook etc. 330d, not to be confused with the 320d, this one has the far superior m57 straight six. Incredibly hard to find in wagon form.

Will get some better photos in the near future!

Not a whole lot has changed with the car recently, just been enjoying driving it. Made up a little shifter surround cover for the rtd shifter and wrapped that in Alcantara to match the radio delete plate. As well as removing the idrive controller and making it match as well.

Yeah saw it on turners not long ago, was tempted to use it for parts for the mrs 130i haha.

This the one from turners end of life? Or Mannheim?

Can get some later on

Hi, it’s a 2006 330d, nz new, full sunroof, cruise control, parking sensors, black leather interior, electric seats. Titan Silver color. 18inch Factory alloys. M57 Engine (arguably BMWs best). Completely stock. 6speed zf auto. (touareg not included)

I’ve got a 330d e91 I’d consider selling, done 160k kms which if you know much about m57 engines is fairly low kms for one.

Unfortunately not, a manual 330d touring would be more or less impossible to find here in nz. However they’re not too hard to manual convert if you can find the parts. Have done so on a 135i coupe of similar vintage.

Potentially looking at selling my wagon before I spend a whole lot of money on it. very hard to find diesel wagons here in nz particularly nz new ones. 2006 330d: Nz new, Black leather interior, electric seats, parking sensors, cruise control (I think will have to confirm), sunroof (functions perfectly). 18 inch optional wheels. current wof and rego, 16x,xxx kms. RUC will be up to date. Drives great only considering selling as I’ve got two other cars and don’t really need a third, and I know if I keep it I’ll spend a bunch of money on it doing m sport conversion, tune etc etc. these are very very hard to find, similar spec 335d albeit lci is listed for 14-15k, so price is roughly based off that considering it’s not lci and it’s a 30d not a 35d. located Auckland north shore, welcome to view, overall fairly tidy car but obviously has some marks here and there as you’d expect. $9000 or happy to consider swaps for other interesting/cool cars

Sweet will keep that in mind if I can’t find anything prefacelift.

Yeah I messaged him but unfortunately most of the m sport stuff is sold already, but will keep an eye out

Yeah that’s true, again that was in an ideal world, I’d be happy to settle for one with the Alcantara interior, can always swap that out for leather at a later date. More so after the front and rear bumpers, sill trims, interior headlining/pillar trims in black, steering wheel, steering wheel trim etc etc for context i have recently bought a e91 330d which is exceptionally hard to find. Lovely car but unfortunately not m sport so would like to do an m sport conversion on it.

Looking to buy a e91 m sport car, preferably Titan silver, with sunroof, black headlining, leather electric seats, and 18inch m sport wheels. not looking for a working car, will be used for parts, something like a blown up 320i, or car with damaged gearbox, no engine etc. must be m sport, bonus if it’s got a cool coloured leather interior such as brown or red.

2006, M57, black leather interior, electric seats, sunroof, parking sensors, no idrive, not m sport, titan silber, 160k kms, wof rego, ruc up to date. I have 3 cars so don’t really need this one.

Have found one cheers

I May consider selling my 330d touring

Yeah for sure at the bottom of the depreciation curve. Not expecting to get big $ for it, contemplating wether I sell it now as i don’t really need it or I wait till I find a cheap m sport 320i with a blown engine and swap everything across, and keep it for a bit.

Hello, potentially considering selling my e91 330d. It’s unfortunately not an m sport model. Titan silber, black electric leather seats, non I drive, sunroof, parking sensors. m57 engine. 6hp Auto. 160k kms wof and rego current, not in perfect condition definitely has some scratches here and there. anyone got any idea what it’s worth? They’re really hard to come by in the wagon shape. completely stock nothing deleted, no tune etc

Awesome car! S55 + manual sounds like a great combo, nice wheels too

Been slack on here again recently. Has been a busy time. Finally had my graduation after completing my practical work hours, so I am officially a mechanical engineer now, Ive become a New Zealand citizen and Ive signed a contract to start a new job in the new year. Not a whole lot has changed with the car to be honest. Ive had the car back on the dyno at work just to check the tune again to make sure all is still well, changed oil, the usual stuff. Car is happy and running well. Ive installed a RTD motorsport chassis mounted short shifter. Ive made some changes to the radio delete plate and cut a hole in it to install an OBDII scan gauge. This is a much better solution than MHD monitoring as its permanently installed in the car, doesnt require charging, turns on and off with ignition, and has been set up with Audible alarms should oil or coolant temp exceed set thresholds. Wrapped to plate in some alcantara/suede to eliminate glare, quite happy with how it turned out. Now need to make something similar as a shift surround for the new shifter. Also bought and sold a few cars in the meantime, traded the 123d hatch for a v6 tdi touareg, sold the touareg, bought another v6 tdi touareg but this time a facelift one in much better shape with all the options (minus a sunroof, dont trust those) and full dealership service history. Fantastic car and in my opinion the perfect daily driver. Incredible comfortable, spacious, smooth and quiet with sufficient power and surprsingly good fuel economy. Plus it can tow 3.5tonnes.

Thank you, i appreciate the kind words. Its definitely been a journey but its what kept me sane during Uni, i didnt enjoy my degree very much at all.

This is a cool swap, n52s go great especially the b30s. Have you seen the velocity stacks people are running in the states? Could be quite cool. They’re running them entirely off of valvetronic with no intake manifold or throttle body just velocity stacks straight off the side of the head, probably terrible for IATs but looks and sounds really good
