Sunny day, three weeks into ownership, first clean! Safe to say it's never going to look any better!













I didn't think these were too bad for the old point and shoot camera!

I don't think they are RFTs. The ride is certainly much better than the 330d I ran previously, which was like driving around with someone trying to knock your teeth out the whole time.

I was really after a car with the 18"s - I prefer the subtle look and you don't have to drive round potholes. To add to that since Mrs Gubsta also drives the car it won't be long before the 19"s are shot to bits... grumpy

I know what you mean - I have a 330i on 18 inch RFTs and it is a nightmare just now. I take it you don't have a spare - they come with a can of gunk and a compressor don't they ?

Very nice. My old man has had one for a couple of years now. The ride on the M3 is better than that on my mum's 335i Touring. That has run-flats and sports suspension and the rear end is particularly lively. Had a ride back from Oulton Park in the M3 last weekend and it is impressive how tactile they are for a big car, they deal with potholes well at speed and the traction seems better than the E46. Enjoy!

They're a great car. Just be sure to get it on a track as that is the only place they really come alive (or the Alps!).
