    BMW 320d M Sport (2013 model)

    After years of faffing around with crappy cars (namely VW golf after VW Golf) I finally went and splashed out on a nearly new BMW 320d.

    How can anybody not want a car with the following specs:

    - 184BHP (ok not quite a 330d but for a 2 litre diesel!)
    - 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds
    - 65mpg officially (55mpg realistically)
    - £30 tax
    - very cheap on insurance
    - holds its value well
    - drives like a dream

    Absolutely love it and I can't recommend it enough.

      Depends on how wet it is and whose dream it is.

        Well it can feel a bit like you have wet yourself with the heated seats on...

                Didn't you used to post about buying X Series chelsea tractor type sheds on finance in the not hugely distant past?

                  As this is your first BMW, don't be alarmed when you find that there are no indicators fitted to the car and that there is a strong magnet fitted to the front of the car which becomes engaged when driving on motorways. This behaviour is by design.
