Hi guys

Looking into a BMW 3 series as a daily driver, probably got a 6 grand budget but im confused over which engine would be best.

Seems like i can afford a 02 - 03 plate ideally a sport model trim.

Engine wise it seems like a can choose between: 320/320d/325/328/330

Looks like the 330d is out of my budget, not to worried about mileage as long as its not mega high. But i have no idea which engine would be best.

Ill be doing maybe 5000 - 7500 miles a year so economy isnt to important average of 30 would be great any more a bonus, i guess im after the most smooth and reliable engine that will shift a bit when needed.
