I've had my BMW 330Ci Clubsport for 3 years now, its just ticked past 95k, serviced at least 6000 miles before its service intervals are due and is in great nick.

But.....

I've got back into motocross recently and have limited access to a work van to get the bike to the track.

For a long while now i've wanted a decent VW T4 campervan, not only for a bit more freedom and economy even though they arent the most practical things to own.

Do I sell the BMW and get a T4 Van?
Or do I keep the beemer and get a removable tow hitch and buy a trailer which will probably set me back a Monkey?

My mate has a van due to the fact he is an electrician. Uses it for every day use, but does say its a pain in the arse for parking etc, but also enjoys decent MPG and the practicality of it. He recently decided he needed a car as well. He kept the car for a few months then realised driving a van only was the most practicle option so sold the car and now drived=s the van full time.

He seems very happy to drive a van every day, not sure I could do it though.

You hitch a trailer and hitch a caravan. So it's a hitch.

Hitch is what you do,shoes are shoes, not walkings because you walk in them.

You hitch it onto the tow bar/ball.

Like I said though, it'd be removable so wouldn't see it normally.

I've just bought a t4 to replace my 330ci! I've not sold the BMW yet but I haven't driven it since I've bought the t4. At the moment it's quite hard getting used to just driving a van, but I think it's because I'm going back to manual from an auto. Although if you can afford a t5 I'd definitely push it to that, it drives a lot more like a car than a t4 imo.

And a pic of the van!

Don't see the hype over CS personally.

Whack a tow bar on it
