Well, after 3 months of looking I finally managed to find the right car, a manual 330D, LCI in Le Mans blue
My first BMW, previous cars being a Vauxhall Corsa SRi (first car), Mk2 Golf, Audi S3, Audi A4 DTM and a A3 Sportsback. Only had her for a few days but loving it so far, looks awesome in blue and plenty of power.
Plans are to tidy up a few bits and pieces, pay a little visit to Evolve for a remap and when funds allow, lower on a decent set of coilovers with some 19" CSL style alloys.
