Here is for Reluctant sale my BMW 330d E46 SE spec 2001 51 Plate ... I am only Selling as I have just purchased a 320d Touring for my cyclingThe pictures...>
speak for themselves,the car is in excellent condition, I have owned since October 2011 and covered 11000 trouble free miles. The 330D is the best diesel I have driven, I average 47mpg traveling across country to work each day.This came from a large BMW dealership as a part exchange, owing to the superb condition it was spared being sent away with the other rubbish at the car auctions.It went sailing through its MOT in November 2011 with no advisories ( now listed on the actual MOT itself).This comes with a full service History service intervals are as below14812 Green Bower BMW30582 Derrick James BMW specialist43708 Green Bower BMW58283 Green Bower BMW73000 Green Bower BMW87195 Green Bower BMW101835 Ace Services ( this has been done since I have owned the car- a trusted local Mechanic) The mileage is 105K and is likely to increase slightly as I intend on using for the time being.The engine does not miss a beat, runs so smoothly and with plenty of mid range as and when you need to overtake.Full leather interior with a walnut dash ( added extras when purchased from new)Auto lights,wipers and dimmer rear view mirrorReversing sensors 5 CD multi changerHead lamp washersComes complete with the original owners handbooks and service booklet, BMW tool kit, warning triangle and even the rechargeable torch is docked within the glove box.I am fussy when it comes to my cars , I honestly believe that you will not find another 330d for this age and mileage in this condition.All alloy wheels are in excellent condition as are the tyres.I welcome any inspection, if you would like to see any further pictures I am more than happy to email them to you.The only thing which is not included in the sale is the Bury c9060 hands free kit, I intend to swap this over to my new car. I will leave it in there if the price is right.Any questions please call or text Shaun on 07775713516 - No silly offers please and no silly questions come to think of it !!! I do not want to swap as I already have another car , thanks for looking X

Never mind a month, a week doesn’t go by without someone announcing another one. Audi, Mercedes, BMW – they’re all as bad as one another with the minor surgery. The ‘new’ 3-Series is no different. And this is a problem from an enivronmental point of view. BMW is pushing this agenda harder than most, but then imagine the waste and energy required for re-tooling all these minor parts. What makes it even worse is when the end result looks pretty much the same as the original. Only the headlights, bonnet and the rear lights have been altered. Still, it hasn’t made it more ugly (even if it would be by an infintesimal margin) so that’s good. The interior’s a bigger deal, if you specify the satnav. That’s because you then get iDrive, and this has been quite heavily reworked. Gone is the single rotating knob and two buttons, replaced instead with a knob and seven buttons. This means you can now navigate between the radio or the navigation without the hassle of going back to the menu screen the whole time. And BMW has finally fitted a ‘Back’ button. This makes the whole thing far easier to work. All the nav is now worked off an internal hard drive as well, which means it runs quicker. If you’re worried about updates, your dealer simply plugs the car in, and you can get a new map. The other area that BMW is future-proofing is the engine. Most of the motors in this face-lift remain the same, but the 330d gets some tweaks that make it 13bhp more powerful yet seven per cent more efficient (49.6mpg). This diesel is still a cracking engine – it’s as responsiveas a petrol and so smooth that revving it doesn’t get painful for those with mechanical sympathies. It’s not quite as quiet as some, but the diesel rattle here is hardly raucous. But the efficiencies it gains are even more impressive. BMW is trying its damnedest to pre-empt any eco regulation that might pop up on the statute book in the next 10 years. It means that in the States you can specify ‘BluePerformance’ technology, which is all to do with conforming to NOx regulations. Given this isn’t presently an issue for our political masters, we don’t get that option. Other car makers and governments should be taking note of how seriously BMW is taking all this green stuff. BMW’s marketing men should as well – re-engineering for these minor beauty tweaks is hardly eco-friendly. Now share it More More BMW 3 Series cars we've driven...

I’m slowing, waiting, expecting it to stall. Only it doesn’t. Instead, the 330d settles to about 18mph and drags along, at idle, in top. Foot hard down: rumble from beneath the bonnet and, very slowly at first, the BMW builds speed. From 1000rpm on there’s meaningful acceleration, ...Read the full article Reply ig Joined Dec 23, 2007 1 Posts Status: Offline Re: BMW 330d SE Dec 23, 2007 10:44 PM I drive the 330d Touring, and agree wholeheartedly with this write-up. It could do with a 7th gear, as when cruising there is so much torque available, it surges past slower traffic without any effort at all in 6th (I often try to change up from 6th without thinking). Overtaking is superb, 40-60mph in 3rd is just fantastic, and I often miss out 5th altogether as 4th to 6th is fine. The press in the back as it accelerates is breathtaking! The ride is a bit on the firm side, and you feel just about every bump, but I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable on anything but the most poorly maintained of surfaces. The engine is very refined, and unless you are outside it when cold, I would challenge anyone to identify it as an oil burner. Once warm it simply hums - and even under hard acceleration it merely growls. Fuel consumption is averaging about 38mpg (and I do have a fairly heavy right foot), so I can't complain there. On long journeys at legal speeds 45+mpg is achievable, and often I am getting 500miles or more from a tank. I did have the 318d and 320d in succession, and the jump from the 318d to the 320d was noticable enough, but the 330d is in a different league! The safety features are impressive, and the hill start anti-rollback is very handy in car parks. The Touring gives me the practicality of an estate, without looking overly cumbersome, and the opening tailgate window is very handy. I had the saloon both times previously, and whilst the boot is okay in size, loading it through the narrow aperture was a test of my IQ each time. I think the auto box would probably suit this car well, as all of the action happens at low revs - taking it past 3000rpm in any gear is unnecessary, unless you want to simply show off. The only aspect of the new 3 series that really needs improving is the seat adjustment that, unless you get electric seats, requires rather undignified shuffling to move (particularly up/down). My Vauxhall Vectra had a far better ratchet system. Being a company vehicle, I don't get to see the service costs, and the tyres don't come cheap - about £170 each, so whether I would run one privately is debatable, but that aside the dealers are friendly, helpful and mostly reputable. Overall, I am very impressed with this vehicle. It does everything I want; is as fast as I will ever need, is great to drive, delivers a smile everytime, and so far (12 months) has given me no trouble whatsoever.

Its much easier to fudge the gear ratios than the power and torque curves to match the vehicle weight and air resistance. This is how it should be done,and if a vehicle designer wishes to give us the figures that prove me wrong I shall be indebted to them. Direct drive,which we will call fourth in a five speed box (since five is all that is necessary),is the ratio in which the vehicle reaches its maximum speed at full power RPM. Fifth is an overdrive ratio 25% higher,it will be unusable except when cruising on motorways. Third is a 25% reduction on fourth and second 50%. Bottom,always contentious because designers always think we all want to tow Wendy houses,needs to be no lower than a third of the top ratio,but because of clods who ride clutches I suppose it will be argued that it should be 25%,perpetuating the low geared horrors we now tolerate as normal. If this is applied most so-called modern cars would become somewhat higher geared and their acceleration figures much less boast worthy,this is because,and I'm going to keep repeating this,they are externally too big and much too heavy.

Report this review The BMW 3 Series 330d SE Saloon is ace on diesel 150bhp. Get the top spec with leather for comfort. Very nice to drive. Best car I have had. Over all a very good strong car i would recomend any one to get one or test drive go for the facelift after 2002 looks alot better. They're not cheap to buy second hand, wishbone bushes can go weak, and have the turbo checked after 60,000 as the oil seal in the turbo can go pushing all the oil out of the exhaust Read Guest's full review and ratings (89 words) Guest 26th Oct 2008 Reviewer rating: Guest's review has yet to be rated - Be the first! Report this review Good car for what it is. Not focussed enough as a hardcore driver's car though. BMW would point you towards an old M3 if you wanted that though. Good car, much recommended. But have something more interesting for when you just want a hard thrash...

Report this review The BMW 330d is a magnificent vehicle - it's the first BMW I've driven and it eats up the motorway miles. The performance is such that you'll never be able to fully use legally in the UK, but it'll leave almost every other vehicle standing on the motorway. The fuel economy is fantastic for such a high performance car and it's hard to get less than about 45mpg even with hard motorway driving. It's a real driver's car and once you sit in, it wraps itself round you like the cockpit of a Messerschmi ...

Report this review Great car, sounds good, looks good, goes quick but does 50mpg on a run at a steady 75mph. I have 200+ ps 6 speed manual model with factory lowered sports suspension, sat nav and sunroof. I have had other BMW's with 6 cylinder petrol engines, this outranks them by a long way. Engine is quiet and refined for a diesel and pulls throughout all of the usable rev range. Will eat any fast petrol car up a hill (takes on XJRs up hill). Manual is easy to drive, due to diesel low end torque and gearbox whi ... Read mipaddock's review (205 words) Guest 1st Jan 2008 Reviewer rating: Guest's review has yet to be rated - Be the first!

Read Guest's review (25 words) Jenny52 23rd Oct 2006 Reviewer rating: Jenny52's review has yet to be rated - Be the first! Report this review I absolutely love the BMW 3 Series 330d SE Saloon. It drives like a dream, and it accelerates faster than anything I have ever driven. When accelerating fast there is the most wonderful growl, which makes you feel so good. It feels really safe and solid, and I have had no problems whatsoever with it. The only slight negative comment I would leave, is that compared to some other cars, the steering is not as light as it could be. That being said, it is very positive, and the handling is super ...
