Very nice ! Personally I would have gone for the 330 or 335d but I'm guessing there a fair whack more?

How do you find the paddles? Do they change when you want to change, or is there a lag?

good choice, you made the right choice over the 335D (if it even was a choice)

Great choice of motor whats the performance figures of these?

My neighbour has a 325i vert in that shape and has had a ridiculous amount of electronic problems.

Having driven the 330d I was impressed a lot! But when I've got a works can 5 days a week it seemed silly to go for a diesel. Plus this one came up and I couldn't resist!

The 335i is 306 bhp standard. Which is a cool tonne over what the golf was haha. I'll be saving for a map soon (not that I think it needs it!)

How much did it set you back out of interest? Looking for a new car next year and saw a nice 325 come up in this shape with all the toys and red leather, which was about £9-10k

Looks nice, like the plans also.

Ahhh fair dooes having a company car is a big plus , I'd go petrol Aswell if I wasn't doing lots of miles to work and back every day haven't actually driven a modern petrol bmw the only petrol ones iv driven are e36 but iv driven a fair few 320 330 530 535d and was more than impressed.

Looking forward to seeing it look like the one in the last piks !

cheers for the feedback boys. well ive been looking for a while and what ive found is, when you jump upwards from 330d the price goes up. i was lucky enough to get this for £13000 with 68k on clock. traded the golf in for it and used my dads car trader. anything else i found in direct comparison was pushing 14/15. and anything in white pushed the price up even more

I actually prefer this in black rather than white.

It's all about the grey's now anyway.
