A sense of sadness???

[litchy]

Heres my 330ci sport. Daily runner and Dad's taxi. Finially fitted the wheels I've been trying to source for 18 months. Supercharger being fitted 17th April, I've had the car 2 years now and as the cars nearly finished, I've got a real sense of sadness because I now realise that I've exhausted what I can do with it and its time to move on.
Its funny cause what I enjoyed the most is not finishing it but was starting it! The first parcel, the hours on the internet sourcing parts, ebaying, joining forums!! hours reading previous threads (trying not to repeat them by asking daft questions), hiding credit card statements and setting up my 'secret account' for the other love in my life!...waiting for the next edition of pfbmw...that feeling of going to pick your car up after fitting the next mod....

Like I said in previous threads moddin is an addiction and now I know what it feels like coming out of rehab. Where's my next fix!!!!!

I had the excact same experiance with my 330, after i had supercharged it i sat back and thought where do i go now. I owned the car for over 5 years and it was a sad day when it went. But it was a far better day when i picked up the m5. :D

Those wheels look great but there's still plenty you can do to your 330.

I had a similar setup to you but also fitted:
CSL bootlid
CF rear window spoiler
upgraded exhaust
BBK
remap
rear LED's
CF rear diffuser
Fit charge cooler, pully's and strut brace.
Might also be worth considering an uprated clutch, all depends on the condition of you current one but the SC might eat it.

the list goes on and on. I think once you have the SC fitted your feelings will change about this car. The spool up of the SC and additional power delivery will put a big smile on your face. You could move upto an M3 but in terms of power there is little in it, you will however have higher insurance, running costs and congestion charge. I think your into a good project here, keep up the good work and before you know it you will have a magazine shoot lined up.

if your thinking of selling up then it might be a good idea to hold off on the SC otherwise you might end up removing it before sale which is going to cost £££ in labour plus the fact you will be selling a second hand SC.

Thanks 'Big Shout' like the idea of CSL bootlid. I've already got Eissenmann exhaust with sound pipes, Brembo's on front, M3 strut brace and may have a set of LED's soon.
Couple of questions, did you remap your sk+ after fitting charger and which charger cooler did you use??

Should have said, mines a steptronic so limited to how much power I can use (300bhp before software on auto goes mad)??? Good suggestion bout charger but (as you may have seen from previous threads), gone to soooo much trouble getting it fitted -was originally bought for a325ci and need a conversion kit from Roy for 330...but thats another story.
