There doesn't seem to be any M Sport Coupe 320Ds for sale anywhere that are really special.

Has anyone bumped into anything?

Good find ... I didn't read much into it..

£15k on a 320d?

Why spend anywhere near that? I'm not knocking the car - I have one - but I didn't buy a 4 pot diesel for its specialness.

With the the F30 out now too, the 320d e90 is rather low in the pecking order.

If it must be a 320d for its frugality, just get a cheaper one. Otherwise get a 330d/335d and enjoy the fact that that is a bit more 'special'.

I love my car but mainly because it was dirt cheap, it's a tool for getting from a-b cheaply and I've just started my own business. Last time I spent £15k on a car it was a fully loaded 535d m sport and there is no 320d in the world that could compare to that.

Just my 2p

Sorry for the late reply.

You have a valid point mobilejo but age means I can't get insured on anything above the 320D at reasonable cost. Believe me if I was older I wouldn't even hesitate because I have long been after a 330D. I could get insured on the 330D previously but insurance premiums have only gone one way in recent years.

My special I meant one with iDrive and a few other gadgets but I have since found the right spec in a Saloon. I preferred the coupe only because it had a few more gadgets as standard like Xenons etc but have since decided that the 4 door is my preferred shape.

Fair enough, I see your point. Insurance is just beyond silly when a 28 yr old with 7 yrs NCB (me) is still being quoted over a grand to insure anything that gets to 60 in under 77 years!

Glad you got what you were after!

Thanks,

Last year when I was looking for a 330D the difference in insurance between that and a 320D was around £140 per year (I am younger than you ) a figure I was more than willing to pay. My Renewal however was generated at over £1500 more, and comparison websites were the same. This year I can get virtually no quotes on that model anymore due to the price hikes in the insurance industry.

Tell me about it. When I was 25, I insured my 535d M Sport with 6 points, 4 years NCB and an accident 2 years prior (protected NCB) for under £700! Sounds ridiculous in the context of today's prices doesn't it.

I know we hear it again and again but motorists are being priced off the road/into smaller engined more economical cars - fuel/insurance/road tax

Haha

They want £80 extra for a coupe and about £160 for a saloon 320D.
