We had the h/k system in the wife's MINI and that was ace so I expects your to be a little better being a larger car.

I particularly like the colour of the leather.  One of those things that when you are choosing the interior from the brochure, you think 'red - yuck' but reality looks cool.

I've seen a few Volvo C30s in white with Mocha (ie brown) trim.  Sounds wrong but looks amazing.

Oli, how you getting on in the 6 pot ?

Thought I'd see what mpg I was getting in the 335i, not bad considering 3.0 Ltr petrol and its only done 1400 miles  :happy2:

All good cheers. That is some mpg, must involve lots of distance work. Mine is on 100 miles or so and is on 26mpg!!!!  Mind you, my wife drives it, mainly round town and full of kids!

Great family car but one with some get-up-and-go when desired. I'd want an exhaust on that 6-cyl if nothing else.

Post by: neg on June 12, 2010, 04:34:23 pm
Oh yeah, a decent exhaust note on one of those would be lovely!

It's a diesel, not need for an exhaust.  And it's just relentlessly fast........

Bloody hell Neil, are you driving it or pushing it??
I nearly bought a 335i last week, but on an extended test drive, I only managed 23mpg taking it easy! My next choice would have been a 335d, but you can't get them in manual  :sad1:

I plumped for a 330i in the end and have averaged about 31mpg in 250 miles so far so god know what you're doing to get over 40!!  :congrats:

Nice car Oli, same interior colour as me  :grin:
