Sean_VTS' new automobile....
 

After a tough year last year with my gf being in and out of hospital I had to break up the Saxo to help out with everything.

The time came where I had the money to go out and get a new car......

Literally had no idea what to look for so looked at a stupid amount of cars and finally settled on a BMW.....

Pics speak 1000 words.

BMW 325ci sport acs3.







Lovely to drive, comfortable, quick and handles well.

All the extras so was pleased.

Wasn't long before I wanted to change a couple of bits.

I replaced the standard business tape player HK system with a highly rated dynavin v5 sat nav unit.



Totally changed the car. So nice to have iPhone integration and Bluetooth!!

Next changed my front grills from chrome to black

Before


After


Much better :)

Then I painted my dial needles red and put in a carbon fibre dial surround and 330ci dial rings.



More to follow!

Love this car! I'm looking myself on what to get.. Can't get insured on a decent BMW, only like 1.8s, whats it like on fuel?

Strangely it's cheaper for me to insure this that it was the VTS :S

I'm currently getting 24.7mpg around the town.

I'll have to do a few qoutes, VTS = £2000 for me..

And oh my! Thirsty then! :D

Issuance on this is only £585 a year lol I'm 23 though.

I didn't think that it was too bad! Killer to fill up at almost £80 a tank from empty :(

Said it before, looks good bud.

Shame it's an autospastic thought ;)

Love black bmw's
And the black grill Makes them look so much meaner
Had to get rid of mine unfortunately :-(

Thanks Matt, semi autospastic ;)

Joy to drive auto tbh.

Thanks mate. What did you have?

Same as what my stepdad had in his old M-sport 525. You're right, nice gearboxes tbh, I just like doing it myself haha

You will never get laid if thats your attitude ;)

They are nice gearboxes actually. Sport mode aswel :)

Dude your jokes are getting worse day by day!

It's because I'm getting old :(

I absolutely love these BMWs, i really think that BMW have gone way down hill lately. have you seen that new one on TV? the 5 series i think it is, it makes me chunder every time i see it.
25 mpg? thats a prius compared to my grandads 15mpg lol

anyways love the car, looks clean, nice find!

Thanks mate. The older ones are defo better IMO the e36 and e46 are lovely. Although I do like the new shape 3s the only nice looking bmws now are the mpower IMO. It's a shame that trying to make cars be more environmentally friendly means that they make them fucking ugly!

What's your grandad got? My gfs dads merc sl600 does 8mpg lol

I agree, m power ftw

Hes got a bentley continental flying spur :fcuk:
its the fastest four door production car ever made :y: (apart from the new 'speed' one which is a few mph faster)
top speed 195 mph, 6 litre W12 twin turbo :drink:
sorry if i sound like abit of a twat, i lap up the opertunity to show off abit, oh and because of a farm insurance policy im insured on it (im 17) lol, not that ill ever be allowed near it
whats the merc got? must be abit of a beast to get mpg that low lol, i think the bentley only uses half the engine (one V6) until you give it the beans

Sounds like an animal!! The sl is 6.3 v12 bi turbo so it's pretty quick. I'm not surprised you will not be aloud near it!

yeh i seriously love that car, it really is an animal, i live next door to him and when it starts up it shakes the house down. but on the other hand because its a bentley (this is probably the same with that sl) it just quietly hums until you really rev it. ive been driven in it twice and the best thing about it.....the massaging seats:homme:

I only had a 02 model 318 ti compact but was my first BMW so started with a small one got a zs ATM whilst saving for the e46 m3 convertible (gonna take a while but by then insurance will be better also)

This car is soo sexy, have you seen _Jorge's BWM on here?

I really want one of these as my next car :) How much you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Yea the sl is the same. The porshe cayenne gts is worse though that thing is so loud!

I was going to get a ti but found this at a cheap price so went with it! My next car will be an m3 no doubt in my mind. I would have got 1 but couldn't warrant the mpg on it as I would be using it as a daily driver :S

Thanks mate no I didn't realise he bought one tbh!

I paid £5000, 80k miles, 1 owner and full BMW service history.

rich bastard !!!!!!!!!!!!

my dad has a rover 400

BOOO YAHHHH

Ye he has had one for a while, will look for the thread :y:

£5000 is about the going price for these with that mileage :y:


EDIT - Username is actually, Jorge- :oops: Thread is > HERE <

Yea I you buy it privately, I got mine from garage with 2 years warranty with it and free car cleaning for as long as I have it (although I wot let them touch it) lol

Just had a cheeky look at his thread and it looks lovely. His plans are very similar to mine although I already have the dynavin v5 lol.

Nice cars, why did you not go for the 330 out of interest? The fuel economy isn't noticeably different

It was more cost of insurance. Was an extra £420 a year on a 330 also my friend is only getting 15mpg around the town in his 330.

It was a win until i saw



Just kidding, Very nice!

jheeze mate this beeeemer is sick :y:

Thanks mate :)

looks gd fella, do like a nice clean bmw

Thanks mate.

As this is my fav picture ATM I messed around with it on a app on the iPhone and liked it so thought I would put it on here

Looks nice mate, have to see it in the flesh. You have any plans for it?

Love it Sean :) looks really mean!
Makes me want one!

Cheers Scott. U will do soon mate maybe at the weekend!

Not sure tbh. Just want some tints really and that's prob about it!

Thank you jodie :) I'm very pleased with it!
