Mmmm.... the Gen 3 was from about 2009 onwards IIRC and they START at about £10000 i think. I doubt his 330d was worth £10k so that means he would have had to start by chucking in a few thousand pounds for the initial purchase, then deal with the thousands of pounds extra in depreciation - all to get a few MPG more and save £200 tax a year.
I just can't see how it makes any sense at all. And tbh, you would have been much better saving the hundreds of pounds you recently spent on your 335 exhaust conversion and remap and put them to one side to keep your car running.
Oh well, another BMW bites the dust due to, what appears to be (and i will happily be corrected), flawed economics
Enjoy the Prius, although i can't see how you possibly will after a nice BMW.
Out of interest, what do you do for work?
