Good shout, but maybe the diesel would be better? They are dann powerful, and of course a bit better on fuel. Could possibly get a nice 5 door Audi S3 for that money too. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

330i s are not expensive to run!Trust me it ticks all the boxes and sounds epic. The 320d is one of he least reliable bmw engines of all. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Most definitely a buyers market at the moment when it comes to edition 30's. Gareth is a bit worried by the amount of them that are on the market at the moment  Great fun cars (although i only have only driven a 1.4 306, a gti6, fabia vrs or diesel a3 to compare it to) feel free to pm me for any 'real life' info on them...Gaz knows most of the pro's/cons when it comes to them...'Rolf' the golf is his baby! ________________________________________ keep the machinery between the greeneryR766JKV nile blue gti6 - sold  V634DLR black gti6 - sold Now driving a skoda furby vrs - for sale Currently piloting an Audi a3 sportback |

It's taken years but I prefer to buy a car and pay it off ASAP to give me 'equity' for the next rather than do this 'leasing' thing with PCP. Id love an S3 Sportback but they've only been out 4-5 years ish so still looking at £18k upwards. |
