    Swapping Golf M6 for BMW 3 Series

    Bought a Diesel Golf 54 plate on finance 2 years ago and just about to make the final payment. Bought it with 50k on the clock. Drove my friends 3 Series Diesel on Sunday with 150k on the clock and it drove like a dream compared to it.

    Is it worth doing a straight swap for a BMW worth the same amount? If so should I go for Diesel or Petrol? Decisions.....

        335d or 535d is the bimmer you want. Straight six diesel with twin turbos. Smooth.

          Theres a "The Car People" in Manchester, they will let you test drive as many cars as you want without any pressure. Dont give them your phone number though.

            2 years on finance - Hardly a permie thing to do. Also you ever heard of bangernomics? Was discussing the topic with a group of contractors at radbroke just last week.

              Can I get a decent one for 5k? 53 or 54 plate is fine

                Oh if you think a diesel bimmer is a bit slow, a few simple tuning mods...
