Hi,
I'm new to the forum and relatively new to BMW's. We have a 316 Compact M Sport but as my wife is pregnant we need a 4 door reliable and safe bimmer, without sport suspension unfortunately. We both like to drive and like a bit of performance so a 2.0L or bigger engine is required. 6 speed gearbox preferable but not as important. We will be spending up to about £8k but if the sweet spot for used sales is a bit higher then we can stretch. Or is it better to spend £4k on a higher mileage (90k+) example and then spend £1k on bits to bring it up to snuff? So what would you say is the best option, bang for buck wise? A high mileage newer model or a lower mileage older model? I've seen adverts such as
2001-BMW-330-sport-saloon
and
ebay example 2
as examples. Seem to be a lot of good deals, but looking at recent threads you guys are finding good cars for silly money. Help me spend mine!
Thanks
Ryan
