Agreed!





BGM - sorry, missed this thread originally...

However, stu has really given you all the answers that I would have!! Having had numerous variants of the E9* series it is by far the best one, and I couldn't agree more about all the positive comments you get (young and old, enthusiasts or not) - that really was a surprise!!

As an enthusiast myself it is nice to have something a bit "special" without breaking the bank....mine has lux pack and retro-fitted leather and came in at about £34k. I run it on the company and I couldnt find anything else that could beat it while being BIK tax efficient.

Negatives? Only two so far. Unfortunately it suffers from the BMW 4-pot diesel clutch judder. Tyre wear is a bit high - c.15k from the fronts, and 10k from the rears is a bit on the costly side...

hth!
