I don't know much about the 330 specifically but the sorts of things to check on any 6 cyl bmw are: Vanos Cracked manifolds Every part of the I drive (!!!EVERY part!!! lol) I used to have a 135i coupe which suffered from the dodgy batch of injectors and was sorted by bmw. I know this issue affected other models so could be worth a call to them with the reg to check for any recalls outstanding etc?

Thanks Pete - much appreciated. I have searched the BMW forums and cottoned onto a few recurring themes, but I know a few owners on here have had them, and I know you're all such a helpful bunch, so thought I'd ask here too :)

Hmmm. Lovely car, genuine, credible owner but I don't think I could live with that interior :( How do you guys with biscuit do it?!

I believe it's called being colour blind.

A bit late, but that one seems an odd spec anyway (SE with manual gearbox & the aluminium trim with the beige leather for starters)

beige interiors are great...

 

... on new cars. 

 

They age very very badly, so even on a three year old they look terrible, let alone a 10 year old bmw (which have poor quality leather to start with)
