not really up for an M3

I'm \warming to the idea of a 330 Sport Coupe

Good man . The facelift 330 Sport Coupe's with the LED rear lights look fantastic.

Yes I like these a lot.

I have been looking at the BMW site. Might pop down to my dealer to have a look at what used ones they have.

Did an insurance quote on Tesco's came out at 867 which is ok.

P.S As a total BMW noob what does the CI bit stand for after 330?

Couldn't live with the Type R I don't think nor an R32.

It's going to be between BMW/Audi/VW

Hmm a 330D with a remap will add another 45bhp and 60lbs/ft of torque.

Interesting, bet that goes like a rocket!

any reason for not looking at the M3 , everything a 330 is and a lot more , obviously you would have to look at a bit older but most have been looked after

just because it's the upper end of my budget, if I can get a 330 that is newer and cheaper then that will be better for me all round.

Insurance is also going to be a lot more for an M3 at 22 even thou I have max no claims!

Don't get me wrong id love an M3 but its just not feasible. Maybe when I'm over 25

This gets harder now - I am looking at New Octavia Vrs now.....

I think that would be my choice, that or a MkV Golf GTI. With your discount you really should take advantage of it.

It seems like a good option, with discount a new vrs would cost me 13k which is pretty good...

Think I will have to borrow one from work to see what I think.
