Some piccys at last 335i m sport

dazzapb · 08-19-2007, 08:46 AM

Finally got around to taking some pics even though I took delivery end of may/start of june, pics could be better but it was a camera phone (n95)

The car is very dirty and hasn't had a clean for 3 weeks, I'm too lazy to clean weekly - maybe I won't get black bimmer next time around

The prob is i live in a flat, and its difficult to get access to a jet wash etc....

This is the car after the paintwork was rectified (respray on boot and roof i believe) due to where the car was stored pre delivery. she was away at the paintshop for 4 weeks (only 3 weeks after i took delivery!)

Maybe I'll take some pics after shes had a wash!, so expect some more pics in 3 months

Identical to the one I have on order (due Sept sometime) although I've gone for the cream beige leather.
I always find just cleaning the rims makes a huge difference to the overall look, although in saying that just cleaning the wheels takes for ever!

very true, the rims are very dirty, at the moment they look like the grey anodised m3 rim! (well i can only dream!)

looks the business.

Although, I'd loved an M Sport version if it had been available when I bought mine....I think my alloys are slightly easier to keep clean!

You certainly have good taste when it comes to colours

kings UK · 08-19-2007, 10:21 AM

lovely motor that mate... shame its filthy though!!

peterg1965 · 08-19-2007, 11:27 AM

I do like the 230 alloys, probably even better than the M Sport 225 19"s.

I'll have a restaining order taken out against you, I guess it must be 'paint rage'

silverbmwz3 · 08-19-2007, 01:43 PM

Loving the red leather and black combo. Not big fan of wood in cars but you picked the best kind.

"paint rage" WTF, i like that

bungle · 08-19-2007, 04:08 PM

Looks fantastic mate - if it wasn't for the nipper, I'd get exactly that spec (I love black with red) instead of the Touring.

Don't know if it's just my screen, but the seats looks completely different in the 1st and last pics - they almost look burgundy (old M3 colour?) in the last one, but a more traditional "red" in the 1st one. Truth (in daylight) I guess is somewhere inbetween - look great though!

mgarvey · 08-19-2007, 04:44 PM

Clean or not, that's a great looking car

330cdsport · 08-20-2007, 05:45 AM

Yep - Great car. The black and red seems to be a lovely combo.

The wheels are easy enough to keep clean if you do them every week, but if you leave them longer, the brake dust seems to bond to them. Tis a nightmare then.

I used TurtleWax Extreme Wheel Polish on mine last night. Will have to wait and see if it helps protect them any better.

Chemical Guys Wheel Guard is great, especially if you do it when you first get the car

Is it easy to apply?

I ask because it took ages last night to clean, de-tar, dry, and then polish the rims.

OriginalFrak · 08-20-2007, 08:44 AM

Very nice car sir.

CG Wheel Guard is easy to apply - come in a white pot full of this orange looking acrylic type stuff.

Wipe on - let it bond wipe off.

I've since tried Jetseal 109 - I only put it on a month ago but seems to be holding up well.
