Default 330ci auto convertible 01-03

Any one had one? your thoughts? Thinking one for myself...but think its a bit girlish . Obviously with my touch it wouldnt. I plan 30mm drop, carbon intake and black out grill...you get my jist. Anyone want to share any expriences/ thoughts etc....put'em forward.

cant comment on the 330 but ive owned my 320 for just over a year now, rear springs seem to be a common fault and they seem to snap!! always worth buying the best you can afford, make sure you buy one with leather as fabric interior can be harder to sell, invest in a rear wind deflector for the misses!!! and be quick if your serious as sellers will expect more for there bmw when the suns out!!

thought id include a photo of mine just to help you make up your mind!! expect to pay a fair bit in the future for tax aswell

Had mine a month and love it. 330Ci Auto. Pretty quick, excellent brakes and handling for a heavy car. Quality is amazing!!

Unless you have a strong reason otherwise, I'd highly recommend getting a manual. My dad has the coupe, and it's a lovely car to drive. Great fun on the B roads, not all that quick ultimately but enjoyable all the same and the engine sounds lush.

I have one - rear springs will go last service inspc 2 cost me £900 inc replace springs.

Lovely car whatever the weather, auto suits the car well, not really fast but goes well enough when needed.

Facelift ones look much nicer (03-ish), front headlights, MV2's, LED rears. Heated seats nice option as genuinely keeps you warm much better than blasting hot air. Agree about leather, anything less than 330 will be too slow.

Thinking of selling mine as had it 2 years now.
