Welcome welcome! Hope you are having fun, the mods never stop...why do you think you need new wheels? I like those 18s...

Nice colour combo....out of interest, what did you get out of the remap?

Thanks

Looking for 19s and have it sitting a bit lower.

Upto 315bhp and around 640Nm torque a think, she pulls very nicely

I hate the wheels thats on it

Hello! 19s do look a lot better imo, see if you can pick up a set on Ebay ?
330 is a peach of an engine even in standard form.
Maybe swap out front lights as halogens are more candle like than headlights!

Welcome - best colour and engine!

I think I’ve seen your car on the M77 - quite a distinctive number plate. I’m in Newton Mearns.

I would recommend ACS springs for the car. Added them to my old 330d xdrive (which is now near you!) - worth every penny!

Looking at the acs springs as recommended to drop the car a bit, should i be looking at spacers?

My old car now is in Irvine. Somebody on here bought it and is looking after it very well! You may have seen it about.

I now have a X3 M40i. Love it!

As long as you keep standard size wheels, you probably don't need spacers.

My old one was a white 330d touring. The current owner has added black wing mirrors and front grills.

I added the ACS springs.

It was a great car!
