Ok so as per my previous post , I was toying around the idea of getting an F30 330d for a while, financially it didnt make sense as my 2011 E90 320d msport was the best car I've owned, it was paid up, low mileage and in excellent condition, no way is the F30 330d double the money but the petrol head that I am , I make car decisions with my heart and not the head.
so when I found this immaculate 1 owner (elderly gentlemen) 2014 330d with all the extras I wanted and only 76000km I fell hard , the only consolation I had was that my brother took ownership of my E90, sold it to him for the price I was gona get on trade.
My thoughts so far is the 330d is an absolute beast, its normal and civilized but can blow your mind when in sport or sports + mode.
The gearbox is a peach and changes are seamless even when using the steering pedals, the interior and boot are spacious. The wide screen, I Drive with pro nav makes the E90 interior feel outdated but it does feel slightly heavier than the E90 as well and if I am honest I feel the E90 build quality is better, I think partly its due to the electric steering , the F30 feels effortless easy and refined while the E90 felt connected and stiff especially after I did control arms with poly bushes.
I'm sure il get used to it with time though.
