12k a year does not warrant a diesel

i think you are looking at the wrong car mate.

177hp engine didn't come in until facility so late 58

[aleung2]

If you go for a 320d I'd get the 177bhp engine which I think you'll get on a 57 plate, they remap to about 215bhp. The last version if that engine, the 184 remap to about 210 for some strange reason. I was in the market for one about 6 months ago but none came up in the spec I wanted for the price. Ended up getting an 11 plate white a6 s line 2.0 tdi instead as they were more affordable.

Won't be as fun as 320d but bigger car and proper states your a wankstain to other drivers.

I'm not though honestly. Though I do get the impression other road users don't like me. I still have the type r though

unfortunately its the cars. My mate recently got an A6 Bi turbo as his company car, 8 speed box, stupid power and he said he drives like a knob due to the car. Lovely but about £50k for a company car.

12k a year does not warrant a diesel

i think you are looking at the wrong car mate.

Probably around 80 quid a month difference in fuel costs. If you take 55 mpg as the diesel average and 30 mpg as the petrol average.

Is it worth having a diesel for 80 quid a month?

assuming the diesel car costs more in the 1st place you have to add that in too the budgeting

On piston heads it says its a e90

Coupe: E92
Cab: E91
Sedan: E90

[karl]

I've a 3 litre 5 series, and it averages 48 on the M roads and 37 round town, and it is an auto, ftw

What figures are you looking at with a map on a 320d

208bhp & 290lb ft with better mpg I was quoted.

Check insurance if you've not already. Fair bit more than a Type R; 320 or 330.

[benjy279]

Get a m3 instead

[Alex.J]

Lol my posts must be invisible. I answer 2 question yet nobody realised.

Paahh

[Newannaive]

Devil fuel.

Don't bother, srsly.

[J@mes]

I don't understand the diesel vs petrol argument. You buy what you want, not because some other f u c ker tells you "oh you only do x miles, sorry you don't need a diesel. Just buy one if you want one and can afford one. Each are totally different to drive.

As for diesels not being on track; I'd much rather take a nice reliable 335d round the ring than my old pile of s h I te mps.

you had an mps?

[J@mes]

This is where it spent most of its time

[dutch]

Been to look at a few 330's, one had cream leather yuk dnw and the other had no idrive. They all seem to be Flipping autos. If you get a 330d m make sure its fully speced

Know the feeling. Still, wouldn't make sense to listen to some who's perhaps own said car.

I have an E90 320d (163bhp) and they aren't bad at all. Fairly nippy when you need them to be and has turned out £100 cheaper to run per month than what my EP3 cost. Not bad considering it's a 55-plate, which don't have the Efficient Dynamics engines. As mentioned previously, these will be the 58-plate models and onwards. Probably worth spending the extra money to be honest.

Mine was over £200 cheaper than my Type-R come renewal time, and that's with everything declared (albeit made £2.12 difference).
