RelentlessOne's 330ci

I was ready to add these to my last thread but saw it was locked so here are a few quick shots and the specs:

2003 BMW 330ci with 45k miles
Sport & Premium Packages
Harmon Kardon Sound System
18" Wheels
Schwartz Black with Ebony Interior and Burlwood Trim
Xenon Projector Headlights
and so on...


















Got the mod bug already so this weekend I'm blacking out my headlights, tinting the sidemarkers and the reflectors. Get this, to open the headlights, you just remove a few trim pieces and a few clips and you have full acces to the silver trim: no baking! I can only afford free mods for now but eventually I'll add stealth bulbs front a rear, a Hamann kit and maybe a navigation system of some sort. This car is a dream to drive and handles like it's on rails with the sport suspension, not a harsh ride at all. Thanks for looking...now back to all the Acura goodness.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention, I lucked out because the person who previously had the car before me bought the extended maintenance plan, so everything but tires is covered up until March of '09. Insane.

Very Fast. I'm not sure about the torque numbers compared to the TL but it definitely feels like it has more pull. I LOVE it!

Congrats on your new purchase. I love bimmers and you got a nice whip, plus they have tons of add ons for her. Do you still own your TL?

It pulls harder from the dig of course but we'll the Type-S eventually pull on it but it will destroy a TL-P.

With the Ci premium and sports package you really dont need anything. The car is already lowered, nice set of shoes, good looking exterior add ons. Throw some staggered 19's and call it the day..

That is beautiful. My Mother-IN-Laws 2000 328i she bought new right off the truck has only 26,000 miles on it to date. I love carving up back roads when I take the wife out there for a visit. It handles like a dream and it feels so solid. I am only disappointed with the fake leather (it smells funny) but I think that I could put up with that. The rest of the car feels so tightly put together. It pulls stronger than it's (184?) HP rating states.

Anyway, congrats on the new ride! It is a looker.

The radio display is there, it's actually pretty cool, it displays song information from songs playing on the radio. I'll take some pics of it later. I can't wait until I can afford an iPod hookup! I tried to see if my blitzsafe from my acura would fit but of course it doesn't. At least I don't think it does.

I was considering debadging it but from looking around the bmw forums, that seems to be something the guys with the lower trim levels do. I love the fact that I was finally able to find a 330. I dunno, it took me 2 years to debadge my TL so maybe somewhere down the line.

Tints are planned. Just gotta get another raise, haha.

Thanks. Yeah the mod capabilities are definitely something I had in mind before I bought another car. It's funny because a lot of the parts are a lot cheaper than the acura parts (lip kits, roof spoilers). I still have my TL, but that's only because the BMW dealership would only give me 5k for it and I was like f*ck that. I still owe 6k on it so I have to sell it soon. Maybe one day I'll actually OWN this car.

I think that even type-s is no match for 330 ci. Don't forget, its much lighter, due to it being a 2 door car. I am pretty sure its a rear wheel drive too, so there is an advantage already over most Acuras.

Go to bestbuy get one those those thing call I-simple for BMW(less them 100), it hook up to ur CD changer. The best part is you can still use to streeting wheel control your i-pod. BTW welcome to BMW i had 00TL b4 this CPO 325i. What year is ur 330? You should get LED tail light for your car.

I'll check into that I-simple thing, thanks! My 330ci is a 2003. Yeah LED tail lights will be a mod down the line. There is so much to do to this car, it's going to be a blast, but at the same time it still looks gorgeous without anything done yet.
