mines an 06,so it should be the 163bhp model,its an auto and im averaging 44.8.

did see some clips of the face lift m-sport over on e90 posts.

not sure at the moment,the front looks a bit fussy.

gave bmw a call today,and they said they cant retro fit it,i would be interested to know who can do it,as i would consider it,new wheel air bag and paddles,thats about£1200 at least,i have been watching these for a while.The Original VS Paddle-Shift Retrofit for BMW

well,i never,i stand corrected,i wonder if i can get it retro'd on mine,hmmmm.

i know the 330&335 are both 3.0,but i thought it was just the 335 that had the paddle shift.

what did you use in the end?.

have a look here,it may give an idea,i dont think it will be to everyone's taste though, http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136211

ive just been on their website and the figures seem impressive,infact they are amongst the highest ive seen for a tuning box,do you think they are accurate,or a bit optimistic?.

the jacking points i use are little square holes just under the seal.

there is a jacking point,i sometimes use the wife's jack from her felicia,which fits perfect.

i did my callipers with the same stuff and they are fine,honest,the hammerite stuff is realy good. as far as im aware the bmw dealers are just painting the disc's if they get complaints about them,there is'nt a modified disc available.

this is normal,nothing to worry about,i sprayed mine with hammerite smooth and they have been fine ever since.

im amazed at how fast diesel technology is moving at the moment,ive said this before,but 211bhp from the d3 bt is more than the cosworth's a few years ago,no one would of believed it then,that a diesel would be more powerful than a cosworth.

it is just my opinion,and im a bit biased because i have a 320d,im not refering to top speed as thats not relevant,i would just prefer cheaper running costs and mpg,to speed and power,the 320d is a refined car,and i dont want to accelerate quickly all the time,and when i do its more than capable,etc,etc. no doubt the 335d,if i drove one would make me think and i did think about it after driving the 330d before i got mine,the 320d just made more sense,but as i said it is just my opinion,and im not being critical of the 335d whatsoever,i just drive like an ol git thats all.
