My 330D M Sport - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

johnbmw6 · 11-17-2012, 10:49 AM

Well at long last the M Sport touring is HERE.

The weather was crap "pi**ing down", so pictures not great.
Anyway covered 75 miles all told mixed, 45MPG

not bad for a new engine which had 7 miles on the clock, I warmed it up and did some blasts up to 4K rpm in lower gears to bed in the rings.
A surprise was; I ordered Surround view and got rear view and surround veiw AND side view cameras which were not ordered

+ Advanced Parking which costs £525 and I did not order it

Car drives great and I am in Sport all the time unless in town or traffic, I have the Chassis only configuration to keep the gear changes sane.
HK sound is awesome.

Wowzer! New touring looks awesome in EB

Congrats

Rossifumi · 11-17-2012, 10:57 AM

Nice looking car!

But I don't think it is a mistake with the cameras. If I'm not mistaken Surround View requires all the cameras to function. In the online builder all the cameras are automatically added if I select surround view.

F30FAN · 11-17-2012, 11:03 AM

Its finally arrived and you must be soooo happy!!

Looks great ...the first I've seen with that colour combo....v nice indeed I prefer that to the coral red!

ENJOY matey you deserve it..your neighbours must be full of envy..

Wish the sun was out.

It does not do it justice in that light.

oop north · 11-17-2012, 11:12 AM

Excellent news! The beige looks surprisingly good

F30AM · 11-17-2012, 11:12 AM

I hate you but love your car!

Now, no hanky panky on those lovely cream cow seats. I require close-up pictures for now and close-up pictures in 6 months time to make sure you've been a very good boy!

It was with "Advanced Parking" god knows if I would trust it.

I will "Polish my rear" before use.

PS) Pirelli Sport tyres. Very quiet.

Car looks great! I'm sure you'll find plenty of reasons to go for a drive this week

NISFAN · 11-17-2012, 11:43 AM

Nice John.....really nice

Cream interior looks good

Good news on the Pirelli tyres, wouldn't mind those on mine and as similar build time might be lucky.

edz_f31 · 11-17-2012, 12:06 PM

Wow, looks absolutely fantastic!

HighlandPete · 11-17-2012, 12:56 PM

One happy bunny

Does look good and now needs some serious driving... look forward to the first review.

HighlandPete · 11-17-2012, 12:59 PM

One quicky question... the panoramic roof. Have you got one moving/tilt panel?

The E91 had the two tilts, but I sense like the F11, we now only have the one and a 'fixed' rear glass panel, to keep it all much simpler.

i think it is one fixed and the front openning. Not openned it yet.

zorroone · 11-17-2012, 01:06 PM

Just awesome. Nice see one in good photos!

Isow · 11-17-2012, 01:22 PM

The boot mat for the Modern would have integrated more with your interior than the Sport boot mat with the red piping.
The boot mat for the Modern has cream/ beige edging which matches the colour of your leather interior.
Not important i know.
