Hi
Great thread I am in a similar position, I really need some advice. I am stuck between choosing between a BMW 320d SE (2007) or a BMW 320i M Sport (2007). From what I have read the diesels are by far a better option given they give 58.9mpg vs petrols 42.1mpg approx. Also apparently the diesels are 6 cylinder whereas the petrols are 4 cylinder, is that right? And if so what does that mean exactly? Furthermore there seems to be this coil, plug and injector issues with the petrols. However the M Sport looks much better than the SE. The obvious thing to do would be to get a 320d M Sport however they are about £1000 more, whereas my budget is £10k.
I also wanted to know what kind of depreciation I can expect after a years/10,000miles use. These are the 3 cars I have short-listed:
1. BMW 320i M Sport 2007 63k mileage - £10,000
3. BMW 320d SE 2007 78k mileage - £9,500
2. BMW 320d M Sport 2007 74k mileage - £11,000
Any advice please. I am looking to make a decision within the next 2-3 days. Thanks in advance!
