Re: What Car to Get #3
Didn't you used to have a BMW 3 series and said it was sh*t? I remember you moaning about it a lot

Yup. Had a 2008 E90 320d manual with the 177 bhp engine in sensible silver SE spec.
Didn’t like the clutch judder and it was one of the first cars to have stop/start and that didn’t work well. The 4 cylinder engine was a bit agricultural at times and the SE spec wasn’t fancy.
It was actually great in some ways, like when it was cruising on a motorway and giving good mpg... and it was pretty well built and stuff... but I’ll not choose a car with a 4 cylinder diesel again that’s for sure... not if I have any choice in the matter!!
Main issue at the time was that I wanted something like a golf Gti but company had rules etc so had to get a repmobile. Boooooooo!!!

How about a cheap as chips left field suggestion for the price on 2 months of commuting fuel:

Alternatively if it does not have enough oomph, trip to CMC to replace the motor with a Polestar unit so you have an excellent sleeper on your hands.

Re: What Car to Get #3
Well after a bit of a distraction with some Audi S4s and a dalliance with the RRS's .... decision made.
Deposit placed on a 335d Touring. Just kept coming back to that as the best all rounder in the end.
Pics etc to follow when we get it in a week or so, if all goes to plan!
In the meantime, need to do a proper ad for the Audi A3 and the mighty Volvo XC70. Coming to a classifieds near you very soon!

Plenty of advice was investigated and helped confirm the correct choice.
