Nice car

I was very close to buying a 120D myself rather than the Audi but the rear legroom was very offputting indeed and I do carry passengers sometimes.

You were close to buying a 120d but test drove the 320d and hated it? Bizarre, can't think of anything bad about the 3 Series that isn't worse about the 1 Series :confused:

The oldest of the 120d's would also have been outside the budget you said you had when you bought your car :confused:

No bad thing

Off topic, but what does your car do on a 1/4 mile track?

What mods have to done to the standard spec?

My guess it'll be something with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car and a stupidly large engine

Insider information from another forum has done me there

No idea, company car so no mods.

It's a 120d sport with factory upgraded alloys and other interior options.

I could have stretched the budget if necessary. The 120d I drove had all the new style dash which I like. The 320d did not. I like the looks of the 1-Series too.

Heh @ that link...

£13,500 for a 1.6 litre base spec hatchback that doesn't even have Air Con or Alloys... why? :confused:

Not a bad car, but seriously overpriced.
