    Why are you even quoting a 0-60 for a base entry 2l diesel? 7.5 seconds? Is that supposed to impress?

      Don't forget that it comes with full membership of the Outside Lane Owners Club.

        Is this a new car to you? I thought your last car was a 3 series BMW?

          I kept thinking about it only to pull out last minute being worried about maintenance costs etc. This time I thought I'd just do it properly and get a nearly new one. Absolutely love it. I know 320d doesn't sound all that but considering what it gives you its excellent value for money and a lovely drive.

              If you're happy, I'm happy.

                  I'm only being a little silly - they are indeed very very nice cars to spend time in. Always liked the 3 Series as a model.

                  I had a specced A3 170 company car last and that is a car I miss. Far more than the 1 series before

                  Sadly I'm not cut out so have to make do with a 1000 pound Astra now. It does the trick mind, and leaves me money for bikes and classic cars.

                      You. Get the option to have the 320d on the boot or not with BMW's. Like suity said though. You can't really go wrong with 3 series in any spec so if your happy then that's what counts.

                      To be fair I though you would have gone for a lease car so you had a contract you could Jack in when you fancied it 😉
