marzman Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 So i've just been out and bought a new car for the daily grind. I was supposed to be getting one when i ended up buying the Porsche instead... i dont know what i was thinking I've done 3.5k miles in that already in the 6 weeks i've had it So anyway, the Range Rover Sport sold a couple of weeks ago, so the last few weeks i've been out looking for a sensible replacement. I've always been after a Merc C-Class but the prices seem to have increased by £1-2k over the last year so it's out me off them a bit as i know i wouldnt be getting good value. So, i've been looking at other options. I test drove an IS220d which was a lovely drive, but the example i found (for my budget) was a bag of nails, and this week i started looking at 3-Series BMW's. I've had 5 or 6 beemers in the past (E36 and E46 shape) and i vowed never to get another as they were very unreliable. However here we are and i've just picked up a newer shape model (i dont even know the name of this MY...?) Anyway, it's a 320d ES with 108k on the clock. Pretty basic spec but it does have a (sickly) cream leather interior, cruise control, and a push start button Bodywork is alright... 2 or 3 small scuffs and a couple of door dings, but i can sort those out if i can be bothered. Price.... it was up at £5.5k with the plate, but i managed to knock them down to £4.8k without the plate, but with a 3 month warranty! There are no known problems at the moment, and it drives an absolute treat! Pics below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
