DPF delete will need a friendly MOT centre who will turn a blind eye, as it is now illegal.
A new DPF will be around £1500 fitted.
A 320d will see about 30 maybe 35mpg doing sub 10 mile journeys round town.
Maybe slightly less in winter.
But if you are only doing 50 miles a week does mpg really matter?
The fact you are paying £2500 on insurance really does make it a non issue surely? Even at 30mpg that is only £12 a week in fuel.
Get something that does 60mpg and that will save you £6 a week? Considering the upkeep of a BMW, depreciation and insurance your fuel bill is pretty irrelevant imho.
For 50 miles a week I wouldn't consider a diesel, the difference in mpg will be minimal and the upkeep is far higher, wiping out any savings, and you have the issue of short rev range which makes changing gear a pain and hard work.
If you were going auto the mpg on the 320d could be as low as 25 round town.
Also, this is in the wrong place, maybe a mod will move it for you?
