I did a thing. Don't know yet if this is the best or stupidest decision I've ever made but it has 2 turbos makes 230kw and 650nm. Let's see what the future holds.

I like it! How does it handle?

I got a new euro too, an E90 335i to replace the 330i. Pretty quick for a standard grandpa spec. Unfortunately, can't get you a pic because she's already in the shop and broken.

Good thing I got a warranty.

6 years and 50,000 k's with the 330i and never had the need for a towie. 3 weeks and 300 k's with the 335i and its already seen the back of a truck!

Edit: forgotten I'd already announced the new wheels. Ignore my excitement driven duplication.

Handles pretty damn good for what it is but there's no getting away from the fact it's an almost 2 ton SUV. I'll report back once I've driven it more, will be getting registered at the end of next week. Was great driving past probably 50 speed cameras without number plates. Thank you unregistered vehicle permit. What's been a stand out so far with this car is how it just effortlessly piles on bulk speed.

Is this a happy or sad moment?

A bit of both. Happy to have sold it quickly but sad to see it go. Was a fun car to drive, reasonably quick and surprisingly comfortable.

I've got the exact same car as my daily... mine's the black edition. Changed the grille, wheel spacers, added a kufatek exhaust controller and small trim pieces that I modded. It's a super fun car to drive, and I'm looking to replace it as my noveted lease has come to an end, but honestly I'm struggling to find another car that's as fun, carries 2 baby seats and is as much bang for buck as it.

Have been looking at kufatek but my wife is wrestling me for the car, lol.

How's your experience been, any issues come up and how many KMs are on it?

[funkymonkey]

2015 MY16 model, 85000km on it now. So far so good. Had it for 5 years. No major faults, think the only thing that ever popped up was an intermittent fault in the headlight caused by a bulb that was blown lol.

[funkymonkey]

Ha, so just after I posted this, some dude in a truck just reversed into my front quarter and bent it yesterday. great... off to the panel shop, luckily no major damage. I just had a look on carsales to suss out market value, there's not many in the spec I have and with the low k's mines has.

Don't know about that bar man. Chinese parts on an otherwise unmolested Audi. I wonder what the fit would be like.

 

Low km examples do command a decent price still.

Not sure either, it's 100% china brand bar. Ideally I want the Caractere kit out of Belgium, but no distributors for it here in oz

You know it'll be a good fit cos they have different versions of the bumpers for the different factory options. No hacking around.

Nice one. How's the farting noises? They are pretty rad, 310 kW from a 2L, that was race engines not too long ago.

Not so bad, the new ones are a lot quieter then the older ones, (guess could always do a res delete) lol

I can’t believe how fast it is for a little 4 banger, and interior is a very nice place to be.
