Bought another one.... BMW 330i (E92) M Sport Coupe. 2010 with 66K on the clock. 

Nice one.    I had a few E92’s, in both 335d/330d and 330i guise and loved them.    We liked them so much that we even had ‘his and hers’ E92’s at the same time, with hers being the petrol as she didn’t do the miles that I did. They sit on the road nicely and handle really well when pushed. I was sad to see the last one go but we moved on to the 4 series coupe.

I know it’s a terrible photo of my last E92 330d, but I didn’t take many photos of them back then. 
Hope yours serves you well. 

Lovely car! I wanted a petrol non-turbo car for the simpler mechanicals, never owned a coupe before and thought I'd better correct that!

You didn't stay upset about the omega for too long then 

Has to go to allow for this one. Still have the silver one and one 23 year old car is plenty thanks!

On Saturday I replaced all the scanky sticky door handle trims. 



 

Need to work out how to restore that bit of leather next. Any ideas chaps? 

That's a job I need to do on mine as well.

I no longer look at the pump when filling the 530D until it clicks, then I play the 'land on a .00 number' game

Replaced the door seal on the 530D. Thirteen years of wear had taken its toll

I manually changed the clock today in my fancy premium brand 5 Series BMW. 

To date my humble Vauxhall Omega is the only car I've ever owned that has altered the time itself when the clocks go back/forward.   

Errrr same here!

I found Bilstein B4's lasted well on mine (>100k and I think scrapped with them still on) as well, but I got them at a sensible price.  B4 is supposedly similar to factory spec, though I've heard some say they felt hard (probably because the old shocks they took off were utterly fubar)

The Sachs ones are the factory fit shocks, Bilsteins are an equivalent at best. And their supplied fittings are dire compared to the Sachs ones which are indistinguishable from the genuine VX parts in my experience.

Don't recall any fitting issues with either fronts or saloon rears.

I only mention them because they lasted so much longer than the ones from the dealer, for similar price

No me either, fitting kit with B4's were fine with the sets I bought (fitted full sets to three or four Omegas IIRC). Rears on black car are weeping now, but with the age, mileage and style of driving i'd say it's fair enough.

Not sure if they all did to be honest.

Yours being an F11 will have a square setup for the wheels. I think you would have to be careful with a space saver spare kit as the front discs and caliper on mine only just fit under a 19 inch wheel, might get away with 18 inch but no less.
