Choose your 330ci Cabriolet

[omegaoracle]

Wowee looks like you got yourself a good deal there buddy... now i guess its just look and wait at what the japan spec dealer can offer... thats a good price you got there for the hardtop... i think last two pics of the rims are replica M6's i don't think those are original (does it matter though? you going to change it right? )

congrats on taking your time looking through your choices and holding out for goodies you will end up with a gem for sure.. lepas tu i tunjuk you the magazine to make your ciC lagi cun

Just don't forget you promise me a ride..

If i'm not rushing i'll wait for the rest of the piled up cars to hit the market.. see how it goes. mag yg you ade quad x?

Yes, promise. if you don't come to kayel, i'll go to JB, kite makan bubur ke atau gi sahur ke...

I think the UK spec on offer sounds better with 9,xxx miles on the clock. Try to get some OEM wheels than those replica 167 M6 wheels. Are all these steptronic?

The extended warranty is a good idea and I see you've pushed the price of the hardtop even more. You just need to make sure everything checks out with history and papers.

Good luck...

 

[omegaoracle]

thanks bro..
i think its time to get some of the brethen to go with me for a second opinion before selecting the "target" for final negotiations

Problem with the cab with 9k miles is its GOLD in color... huhuhu.. i've to spend another 5k to paint it diamond black. Yes, steptronic

wow, you've achieved a lot and come so far in the last 24 hrs....am very proud of you Omega. forget about the the second uk spec that you saw, continue focusing on the jap and 9K km uk spec. between the 2, the uk spec appears more enticing. all you need to do is to change the rims and repaint it - some people actually prefer gold color. all the best!

 

[KL2DC]

Omega...ditch that gold...its time has gone by. Go with either Sparkling Graphite Metallic , M3 Carbon Black or Monaco Blue....

 

[omegaoracle]

I think so too guys, definately not gold. appreciate the encouragement and sharing the excitement and joy

safri> thanks bro. if you're free.. pls feel free to join me.

kl2dc> this is your forte bro, can u check the formula for the M3 Carbon black for me?

thanks in advance

 

[dumeort]

so we can test drive the car at TT la ?

topless with an M54b30 231hp
can't find anything sexier apart from an m3 cab

 

[KL2DC]

You want the paint formula or the paint code??

Carbon Black Metallic Clearcoat is code 416. I'll see if I can get the formula, probably need to ask someone.

Glad you're interested in this color, is beautiful!! Its a nice metallic black but with a very subtle dark blue sheen (25% dark blue pigments) to it when seen in certain light/angle. Very rich black...

I got some OEM wheel suggestions....either the 18" M V Spoke 72s, 18" M Double Spoke 135s. M Double Spoke 68s and maybe Double Spoke 71s.
