I love this car I’ve got a 2012 330D convertible, first bmw first time with rear wheel drive and couldn’t go back - this channel doesn’t get enough love great vids man
Great review, I have the same car and thinking of selling it but after that review it makes me think otherwise! Tbf mine is stage 1 tuned and straight piped so a little more fun!! Great vid tho 👍🏽
I have the same also, I have had it since 2016 and has a arachnid box on it so pushes 235bhp in race mode. Love the car and I can't justify selling it either. The one in the video looks like the previous owner spewed M logo and carbon fibre all over it and the wheels in black? Arnold Clarke used to have a sales video on this model, they claimed it was limited to 100 units only made. I asked BMW but never got a reply.
I have a 318i 2009 e90. Done a full engine rebuild on it worth £3,580 alone 11 months ago. New clutch and flywheel on top of that after the crankshaft snapped and took those out with it surprisingly. However, when I want to move to electric the garages quote me £1,000 max for it when it’s a car in beautiful condition. New pilot sport 4 tyres all around. seems a shame that garages just don’t care about that stuff. How would you recommend selling this To someone that would appreciate all that was done to it? Has a sporty exhaust too with a limo tint on the rear. Such a shame to let it go for £1,000.
stop lying. recall for bad egr cooler, egr valve getting stuck, lots of air mass plausibilty errors, engine light on every other month, PCV box cracked because its plastic, PCV hose cracked because its plastic, back pressure pipe stuck full of soot, whirl flaps cracked in manifold, oil consumption 1liter / 2000km dude. just stop lying on the internet.
This channel is so underrated

Thanks! 330D is a fantastic car, can have a lot of fun with those.
This is the best drive POV i have ever watched
I’ve had two 135i’s but my favourite car was my 2012 edition 320d coup. I really wish I kept that car. It was amazing
I still miss my mapped E92 330d. Such a good all rounder
Owned mine for 2 and half years now, with a stage 1 remap and XHP gearbox map. Can't fault it!

what remap is on this car?
no remap, totally stock
It's not an original color, is it? Le Mans blue is darker. Montego blue?
Estoril i think
What exactly is the color called?
estoril blue

@@jaynet1539 I had my EGR blanked. Didn’t have any of the other issues you mentioned. You sound like you just don’t maintain your cars 😂
Finally reviewing this car
First? Keep up the great content, Tom!
Do you mind me asking how much you eventually sold this one for?
so is the 2012 model of this car safe from timing chain issues bud cheers.
2011 and before had issues
@@ParagonCarsLondon thank you mate
@@ParagonCarsLondonthe m47 engines the one to go for not these n47 as they have timing chain issues
The 2012 has supposedly different uprated guides for the chain. But you still have to religiously change the oil every 5,000 miles to be safer.
