Ah, S3fan; you could argue that a choice that is considered 'alternative' is a replacement. So, the thread could mean "I want to replace my S3 with something a bit more alternative, as in, a Reliant Robin. Or something'. Why I write this I don't know. Peace out.

Well, you'll recall I sold my dolphin grey S3, same as yours animal, and now have the 330 convertible. I've got no complaints on the interior at all, seems nicer to me than the S3, but maybe that's cos I'm loved up with the grey leather and telly in the dash. The armrest is way more useable, you...

I always go for the onsite airport parking, where you just roll up and park yourself, tesco car park style - and keep your keys!

you'd have to assume the boot has been painted if the badge has moved I would say. Not that that is a bad thing.

I'm not sure if anyone ever said the 225 was any better... It's a group cheaper on the insurance on the 210, go with that! (And even that's forgetting the potential tax change, if it ever comes to pass)

thanks for all the comments guys. I've got a bit of a dicky climate control it seems, posted on bimmerforum days ago, my first post too, no one can be bothered to give their opinion on there! Damn BMW drivers eh?

these are but the hor' dourves...

yes i miss the s3! doesnt feel as chuck about as the s3, and even then, that didn't really feel that gokart like. You start to see alot of these on the road now you're looking for them too.... could go months without seeing an S3.

OK, here it is! 330 ci sport convertible. The power is great in it, seems a lot more effortless than the S3. And sounds better too, although miss the sound of the turbo.

I feel bad now that you lot are telling me that is cheap! I figured before with 97k and in need of a service and a couple of fixes needed, I'd done well! Oh well

im very confused with talk of a 4 spoke steering wheel. Not to mention the no buttons on stalk thing.

just been sold, see other thread!

wow, someone rang me today, came down with cash this afternoon, it's now been driven off! I feel sad. He travelled down 160 miles to see it, as he knew what the best colour combo in an S3 is! I got £6,200 for it, which is the price I set him when I said it is due a mini service as of now, the...

just out of interest then, what would say mine was worth? I've tried to be realistic but optimistic on price, I thought. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/920187.htm

even 7.5k sounds expensive for it to me....

yeah, the replacement is a gem. Best colour combo - blue, blue hood, grey interior! Got the sat nav and tv too. Cant wait.

Got the old girl up for sale now - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/920187.htm Just put a deposit on a 54reg BMW 330 convertible! knackers to the credit crunch eh? I've got to say, the BMW forums don't seem anywhere near as informative as this forum has been to me over the past 5 years...

nah, there's loads of grey ones!

those mirrors... aren't normal S3 chrome/aluminium ones.... or something has gone wrong in the finish. Are they plastic? The facelift happened halfway through X reg Matt, although I don't think there was any mixing of parts... your previous owners just decided to upgrade the rear lights!

if you have slightly bent wheels, people recommend putting them on the back, which sorts the steering, but then you can feel a constant judder in your bum. If by changing the wheels, it feels like the judder has changed, then I would assume it is this. Could be tyres. Last resort - change...
