Thought since I've got abit of spare time id Throw up some pics of my 335d that i bought Just over a week ago now. Shout out to @steeldevil for putting me in contact with the original owner so i could do a few checks for my own peace of mind (y)Car is an 07 Model, 2 Owners from New with the Original owner Owning it for 10 years Car is in exceptional condition for an 07 car Fsh ( in fact its got one of the most extensive service histories ive ever got with a car, bills & Receipts in abundance all the old mots to) Just Turned 94k, Its evident The Original owner really cherished this car & Never skimped on anything, all the precautionary things have been addressed like for instance the swirl flaps have been addressed ( one less thing for me to do) She's had a modest Remap to 340 Bhp & boy Dose she pull the throttle response is instantaneous the Torque is :dizzy: Really pleasant car to driving when driving civilized to, Plans for it are Give er a service, wheel refurb, wouldn't mind Mabey changing the exhaust tips to Tips with a flat edge as the edge of these are on a slight angle & that's about it really. I switch up my cars reasonably frequently so I'll probably keep this to the summer then no doubt something else will catch my eye lol Anyway heres some pics.

That looks a lovely example not too many in that condition anymore.

An E90 with factory xenons and OEM Darkline tail lights is such a winner in my books

Thanks mate Yes it has factory fitted Xenon's & the Darkline rear lights make it look meaner at the back BMW Really did throw the Extras book at this car, As you say Ones in this condition are getting hard to find.

Love this E90 Ross! Perfect colour imo and looks a fantastic example. Seen a few yokes about locally with tinted screens, don't think they would go down well if they got any attention from the plod lol. Htd!

Gave the car a going over today washed, De-Tarred, Clayed, Polished, & put 3 coats of wax on ( mer finishing wax, cherry Glaze & finished with the good ol Trusty Simoniz Wax, i think Simoniz wax is one of the best for protection you just gotta watch you don't leave it on too long or its a hard work buffin it of ) pity the weather is abit dull today ( which in turn made my pics abit dull) heres a few anyway

Right since the last time i updated this thread i got the car serviced, i also got the mechanic to do a full health check/inspection on the car. He said it was a really good example & he said it was the first 335d he had in that never had any fault codes when he he checked it on the diagnostics. He did have a few things to recommend needed do to leave her right they included new front discs, new pads alround, a gasket for the oil return pipe from the small turbo ( as its weeping slightly) & two new rear tyres for Mot so not to bad, should have it up for mot in the next few weeks....

On another note for anyone looking car parts at very good value i've used this site a few times Order spare parts for your car at low prices (cartech-one.co.uk)
I see on trust pilot that company some bad reviews & i was initially Wary of them, but ive bought of them a few times & always got my products they come from germany so they take a few extra days but ive made some savings using them. For example i bought a gates timing belt kit for my last audi a4 that would of normally cost £130ish i got it of that site for £88 couldn't beat it (y)

looks well, very similar to one i was scoping on usedcarsni (maybe even the same one!). Not on the official BMW service interval but once you've passed 70k it's worth getting the gearbox oil changed as recommend by ZF who make the boxes. For some reason BMW decided no it's lifetime fluid but you'll notice a difference in the gears. If you fancy an upgrade to the gearbox software to get it going a bit better I found the xHP stuff so nice I now sell it!

Cheers mate. Don't think this one was advertised on usedcarni. The gearbox oil was changed at 60k (y)

Insured the car last Monday, Flew through MOT yesterday & Taxed it today. First time out getting a proper drive of it today & i love driving it. There was a bit of adhesive residue on the windscreen from the window tint so i used a bit of thinners on a cloth to take it of then i ended up having to do the entire windscreen hateful job:mad: but at least it all came of & the screen came up well

NOPE that looks like torture. I don't even like a slightly dirty screen. Definitely won't ever be doing the front screen lol
