The F-10 is a very well spec'd car in base form.

I would love to own a 335D but it would be over £850 a month with the same spec and fuel bills would also add to this.
Not at all, you're missing the point I was trying to make. Maybe my wording was poor as I mentioned engine size. The very fact that you have options in your car such Sport Plus, nav, heated seats etc says it's not a "base" model.
