Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Right - just so I've got my head around it properly - if its a 330i SMG pre face lift, it needs to be the facelift model - if its the facelift module it needs to be PFL, it needs to stay away from bodykits, google, coughs, high fevers, aids, suspicious lumps, cancer, berms, apexs, & the pox SMG bit needs a hot date with Ray........?? I'm starting to like my 540 more & more......... Oh, & if its Qube's one - might want spotted for some new rims.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a more serious note, talking from experience Steptronic feels much smoother over SMG for city driving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

central3 31 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 I am a bit biased here (my old car) but if you are ok with paying the sort of money you are talking for a 330 then this is probably a good one - don't know if it is still for sale though http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/45797-buyer-advice/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 SMG problems are over hyped. The aesthetics of that particular car are not to every one's taste. If its your first BMW and you want decent resale, stick to stock models with less quirks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
