Finally decided to move on from the 306s, and buy a sensible(ish) car.

After spending a while looking for a e92 with Nav, without cream leather, and good condition, I settled on:











Pics are average at best due to low light/phone being used, but you get the idea.

Only things I've really done to it so far are remap to bring it up to 220Bhp, and upgraded the rubbish audio at some high end audio place.

Love it so far, next car will most likely be the same but newer/quicker when I start doing less miles.

Definitely more refined than a pug! I don't think I could own one tbh, too many on the road and I just think, ah, another beemer. Nice interior mind

"too many on the road" as in a "more reliable" kind of way? LOL

It's on the road, somewhere local, I "sold" it for peanuts when the headgasket went after I spend ages repairing it all.

because of the amount I use the car I felt it would get ruined/really dirty very quickly.

Yeah, you'd have to keep on top of the cleaning with cream leather. Yes

ive bought 1 or 2 of the 330d and 335d and they are monster fast for a diesel really good.
from what ive been told the 320 is pretty much the most reliable of the lot and should run forever if looked after and theyre no slouch either
