I cant insure anything bigger than a 320 at the moment so the one i go for will be 2.0/2.2 150/170bhp - no power house but it looks good and its got a very good spec.

Parking sensors will be great and cruise control should save the juice a little.

Ive decided im definitely going for an M Sport, lovely seats, nice interior trim, good suspension and the bodykit is gorgeous.

Just looks like a dark red to me

Prefer a silver one and sod paying £2.5k for it

Sure it'll be a good car though BMW's usually are would just rather have an Audi though

I know yeah, as if you would pay 2.5k for that! Ive not seen it in the flesh yet, im visiting it tomorrow but apparently it has a really nice flock to it and looks stunning in the sun.

Shit colour, but if you're happy that's all that matters.

Mine saved me plenty of fuel when using it on the motorway. I could see upto 5mpg extra using the cruise.
