Had a drive in a BMW 330d this afternoon and tbh im very very suprised. Its such an excellent drive :eek:

Its just a torque machine that never stops pulling, just put your foot gently on the gas and your up and going at a good pace. Maybe a lot of modern cars are like that but im used to driving cars that need a bit of welly.

The only thing i didnt like was the clutch, you couldnt feel it bite, you couldnt see the bonnet lift and i couldnt hear the engine at all so i was lifting off too quick and getting a jerky ride at first. But thats something you could easily get used too.

Very comfy too, i think it was lambs leather - i could deffo see myself driving one long term even though ive never really been a BMW fan.
 
Not cheap either, when we got onto the price - £38k with options :( told him the older ones looked nicer anyways!!!

What is the Torque and BHP on these? think he said 238bhp today.

quick question, what do you drive at the minute?

Evo 8 FQ300 daily and an Evo 9 FQ300 for track days :D

Fett thats the model i drove today but i prefer the look of the older ones, someone recently bought a black one on here and it looked the dogs :)
 
Now ive got the 9 running 500bhp for track days i dont need the 8 anymore, looking for something with more comfort, gadgets and class for my daily driver :)

just wondered why you were suprised to like the BMW. if youre currently driving a pair of evos im sure a diesel BMW is slight change from your norm.

I was suprised because i was expecting a tarted up taxi :D what i got was something with lots of pull and excellent round holding :)
