Is mine the only one with full heated leather being a Sportline?? [WINKING FACE]

Sportline spec is pretty rubbish to be fair, dsg and xenon lights plus heated seats but no MFSW....WTF!! Not even an option!

That looks amazing! Leather might be a bit much but livewithable

I think I can win any game of T5 spec top trumps

. The first owner went completely mad with the factory options list taking a Highline to way beyond Sportline spec: Xenons, lane departure warning, side airbags, sat nav, cruise, MFSW, sunroof, climate, soft close power latching side doors, sportline springs and spoilers, heated seats with electric lumbar support etc etc. He then took it to Exploria for a full custom leather retrim and rear line out, with alcantara headlining, funky led roof lights and some slammin' speakers in the back. It is really my wife's bus, but I end up using it more than she does. Great for biking and I sleep in the back when I'm away skydiving.

Lane departure?

Doh, there was me banking on yours bring a highline and not having leather lol

Er, T32 so has the bigger front calipers, genuine Sportline seat covers to stop the leather getting dirty as mine is a working van lol

Oh, 4 Thule Wing bars [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]

Lane departure - I guess more blind spot detection really - blinks a light in the side mirrors when you change lanes on the motorway to warn you of anything in the rear 3/4 blind spot. Completely pointless in my book, along with the sunroof. Power latching doors are nice but you would need you head examined to spend £1400 quid on them and they are just more to go wrong. Love the van overall though.

As above, mine started as a factory highline 180, never went four motion or DSG. winters are fine for me. The dealer put it to customvanz and i went a bit nuts... have all the above bar the soft close side doors. It was far more than i have ever spent on anything but totally chuffed with it. Busy designing a semi bulkhead bike rack to sit on the the tiedowns behind the rear seats before i knacker the rear seats.

Blackberry metallic, lovely colour.

Are you sure you don't want another scotty!

it is a 335 but not a i and not a manual but im sure it will be fine for my daily.

Nice motor Scott

Steve.

Very nice

Non standard wheels I see - are they 19s? And are you going to manage to resist the temptation to remap it? The 335d is supposed to be pretty immense with a bit of software tweakery

istoo · Post by **istoo** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 10:45 am

nice, how is it for bike/dog room?

hopefully has a lot of toys and such.

Looks lovely, especially miss the separate twin exhausts on my 335D as it looks a lot more aggressive with them. Nice colour combo and the wheels go really well (look like BMW option alloys?).

If you want to go down the diesel tuning route then AC Schnitzer do some serious upgrades. Was tempted with the 313bhp to 360bhp conversion but it was a wallet pincing £2.5k.

Have been really impressed with the 335D as its so many cars - was up in Aberdeen on Sunday and effortless on motorway, then had to take the back roads from Dundee back (Sat Nav divert due to traffic jams) and had a great time on the A road down.

George

Ps if you want to go stealth then would definitely recommend de-badging the car.

Scotty C · Post by **Scotty C** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 11:34 am

The car is remapped already. I will find out more on Friday when I collect it from Durham.

The wheels are aftermarket fox alloys with continental tyres not run flats on 18's. Gives a better ride. I will need to get another set and Might even go down to 17s or fit the winters to the wheels on the car and get a set of 19's for the summer boots.

Looking forward to getting back into a nice car instead of the work transit pickup.

Is yours the F31 as I thought they had the separate twin exhausts ?
I have the 330d M Sport Tourer which has a twin exhaust on the LHS but also prefer the separate as it looks more balanced.
Mine is the X drive with recently fitted ACS lowering springs and Michelin Alpin winter tyres (19" rims) and the weather is now making me glad I opted out of RWD
