Okey a few issues have been buggin me i currentley have a 118d manual all fine and well and im selling it , so my next car i was thinking is a 325 CD M Sport can any one give me good pointers on what to look out for when inspecting theses cars and all the info it would be a big and great help

My two penneth:

I've always had manuals but had a courtesy car from BMW on a service visit; 118 diesel auto - so much fun and the autobox so easy to use. Consequently now drive an auto, with paddle option and will (probably) never return to a manual. (I am approaching 40 though!!)
I guess the autos are so much better nowadays i.e. 6 speed rather than 3.

Enjoy the "try before you buy" option.

Happy New Year.
