Really cool picture '7' you definately have the flamer kit sorted but really needs some gold wheels, dump valve and rally graphics, keep trying, you'll get there in the end mate

The flamethrower kit seems a bit extreme. Is this one of the kits they sell in South Africa to prevent carjackers?

Only kidding mate, nice motor and good choice of wheels.

Had one of these for a few weeks, a M sport version which is what your car is by the looks of the M badges on the wings. Drove great, got good mpg, and was still quite quick, with all the gadgets, maybe not as fun as a Impreza to drive but much better everyday car.

Yes it is the MSport edition well spotted!

Still miss my JDM STi8 but was getting about 220 miles to a tank and doing a tank a week.

The BMW has some astonishing performance, incredible electronics and beautifully sharp RWD turn in. 5 seconds to 60mph and 59 mpg and about £80 per year road tax. For the small drop in performance the gains make so much more sense to me.

Have been looking on autotrader at the new 330d and the 335d, there very impressive. I'm not so sure about the 5 seconds 0-60 the op says his 330d does (unless its tuned)but still very fast cars especially when you keep in mind the mpg.. The thing that really grabbed my attention though is when the hell did bmw start doing 4x4 saloon cars. You do have to pay a high price literally for what you get and not sure they have the best image these days but wouldn't stop me.

The F30 is a fair bit quicker than the previous model, comes with 8 speed auto and launch control

Yes, I can verify that, lovely car. I test drove a 330d xdrive a few weeks ago and it fair flew off the line. So easy to drive too with the auto box, until I forgot to keep pulling paddles in manual mode!! Decided that a 330d and a scooby was sadly one too many luxuries, but waiting for delivery of my 320d xdrive saloon instead. Every time I see a 330d I know I'll be wishing...!!!

Nice motor. I came up against a 14 plate 330d earlier in my 330 Bhp 2003 WRX, had to get it wound right up to get past it, they certainly shift alright!
