Is it really ?!?! I simply asumed by the gearing that it was the 5 speed 184 hp. I knew it was running a healthy power level - and those wheels look great !

Andy,
I love the CSL wheels on it. I also like the brake upgrade they've done. I wouldn't mind the carbon flippers on the front bumper either! Damn I can see this turning into an expensive month! LOL

My own experience:
Before my scooby I owned two 330ds. The first was the older 184bhp SE model with the auto (steptronic) gearbox. Nice car, fairly quick, so-so economy (usually got 33mpg).
The second was the newer 204bhp Sport model with the 6 speed manual. This was the best car I have owned, it also returned 39-40 mpg (so if you care about economy whatever you do, buy the manual version).
I fitted a tuninbox to it and tracked it once or twice.
<deep breath>
In a straight line it was faster than a P1. I know this because I used it in the wet at Goodwood and it left P1s behind on the long straight. One P1 owner approached me to say he could not keep up on the straight. Not as quick in the corners obviously, but a seriously quick car nonetheless. Cross country it would keep up with my mates Evo VII 320 no problems at all (unless it was wet).
Quite a lot of them are chipped I think. Beware taking one on!
