		So after a rather crappy few months with the pug i decided to sell it, the new owner collected it tonight    
In the plus side this is my new new 
  
I wanted to stick with an estate cause there so bloody practical with kids lol, this ticked all the boxes and finding them in manual 6 speed is impossible !! 
 
So in the past few months it's had a new turbo, new injectors a complete diff rebuild and the whole car has had upgraded powerflex bushes   
4 new damper and lowering springs new disk and pads front and back, full dokota black leather interior (full electric) Allard erg delete and fmic, xenon head lights decat, full s/s exhaust by blueflame, Michelin 19" pilots 4 wheel laser tracking/camber adjust full service including all 3 oils k&n filter 3 keys as full bmw service history    
Remapped already to 263bhp and 735ftbl      picking her up in the 4th [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

		I guess its 330d then    Very jealous although I assume 735lb/ft is a massive typo

		Yup certainly is the 330D I had a choice of the 320D but after allot of probs and cons the 330D made sense special with all the work that has just been done    
Ye sorry is 435lbft lol 
 
Drives like new!! In the test drive the chap took me on a 70mph road [SMIRKING FACE] he'll does she reach "70" extremely fast, strangely there was a vxr trying to show of and at one point I had to easy of the pedal to avoid rear ending him lol he didn't look overly impressed as we past him pretty sharpish doing "70"
 
Never have liked those vxrs 😶

		Going from a 2.0 hdi to a 330D is certainly a big jump lol, especially with all the added extras from the factory, notice control sat nav blah blah lol and the price I got it for certainly pays    4 new tires so I don't need to worry about them, and tbh at 78 quid a corner it isn't that bad, can't wait to collect it

		Depends on preference tbh, mines had every bush upgraded to powerflex so it's very responsive and sharpe, it's a hell of a lot of difference to the pug, feels so smoother to drive and even the worst roads feel fine   
From my opinion ild recommend it, the power, fuel mpg is fantastic and feel so much of a secure drive

		My dad has an E46 (I think) 330d wagon, and I think the ride on that is bloody hard for a stocker. That's on 17s with pretty reasonable tyres on too.
