335d Coupe. First impressions.... - Page 3

I had one for 3 days and was very impressed by it's whole all round package. I did say at the time, that it had lost some of it's entertainment value, coming from the E46 coupe - but I'd still have one tomorrow.

That looks the business ED.

I sometimes wonder if I should have gone for the coupe rather than the 5.

Sure it'll keep you ammused for a while... and a remap (which I'm about to sort) will keep it going further should you need a bit more.

Have heard about the POI DVD hack on E60.net, but you don't get an audioble warning, just visual in the iDrive dispay, so not bothered (I need a siren to remind me!)

Thanks. Trying to talk myself out of going to DMS (in Southampton near where I work). Mainly as I dont want to pay extra insurance (I would not risk not delcaring it), and so far feel it is plenty quick enough!

Know what you mean about the warnings. I have a Snooper indago that does that, but of course dont need the navigation and hate having things stuck to the screen..

May go back to a micro road piot or similar.

KWYM, I have a RoadAngel Compact, but hate it on the dash, so going back to a Micro Road Pilot... just wish the screen was amber and not green.

eMaps are probably going to be doing mine... and another 'mates' 535d.

Very nice looking car - we had a 330i coupe for a few days as a loaner and it was terrific - I really liked the seat belt offering service (fab little touch!!) and the general feel of the car. In 335D guise it really is a cracker. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

48 miles to work this morning. 44.1mpg.

Chav · 14-01-2008, 09:30 AM

that is very impressive!

edo · 14-01-2008, 11:07 AM

I cant see it lasting. It's just to much fun using the torque!

CarMad · 14-01-2008, 11:48 AM

Did you check the postcode ? Enough of this +40mpg talk, I happy with my 27mpg in my 330 honest. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/UHOH7.GIF[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I did. ANd I replied to that post ;-)

Still only first half and first number of second half, plus it then offers first letters for postcode town.

Mixup with the dealer means that they want that 2007 disc back for the supply of the 2008!
