finally - my new M-Sport 335d FACELIFT

neo871 · 10-08-2008, 11:25 AM

did any of you notice that the angel eyes are brighter in auto mode than if you manually switch on the parking lights?

btw, those 3 side leds turn on only when the xenons are on

booforty · 10-08-2008, 01:20 PM

Please post pics of your LEDs both front and rear Andrei

Interesting section on the front lights also being visible from under the edge of the bonnet.

Love the lights, front and rear.

Great pics and a lovely location.

booforty · 10-09-2008, 05:09 AM

Love the LEDs

Beautiful car

congratulations

neo871 · 10-09-2008, 02:38 PM

10X guys!!!

the car is absolutely fabulous.....still i have a question: how long did you (guys with 335d) wait before you fully pushed the gas pedal?? I’m still driving like and 80 year old just to give it the correct brake-in? I’m i exaggerated?

beemerbird · 10-09-2008, 03:14 PM

I followed the running in guidelines laid out in the manual. My attitude is that they are there for a reason. I know others think differently which is fair enough. Just what I did and would do again tbh.

Be patient mate... Treat her with care and she will reward you later

Thats what they all say

It makes sense to follow the running in procedure even though it is so tempting not too

how many miles to go

neo871 · 10-10-2008, 09:28 AM

ok, i get it!

i'll try to take her slowly but can't promise anything

willhollin · 10-10-2008, 11:11 AM

Did it have any KMs on when you got it?

Yes. He will be serious. Your choice though!

He's going to kick off at me for this but I don't care lol. I never had to top my 335d up with oil - ever. Think Carlos has had to more than once.

neo871 · 10-10-2008, 01:57 PM

thanks scooba!!

EHDEN · 10-10-2008, 02:12 PM

Yes I am Andrei, but i spoke to you at lengths in the past about this.

I reccomend doing 250 easyish miles then hell for leather, but only after 6-10 miles and the car is warmed through.

When she was running in over the first 15k yes she used couple of litres.

Not topped her up for approx 30k...

SO she does not use oil even though she hammered and also done plenty of track work..

Not sure who told you she needs oil ?

Was only mucking about Carlos.

Best Andrei does what he feels is best eh.
