But its useful

Looks great, that

Thanks guys. Le mans blue is my favourite colour and I just had to have it when I saw it at the price!

It obviously costs more to run than my 320d but so far I'm averaging 27mpg which is pretty much mixed usage. Hoping that it will be quite reliable being based on the older valvetronic engine, even if it does have 1 year auc warranty.

I don't think blue paintwork goes very well with beige interiors on BMWs

Very nice looking car!

Nice vehicle, enjoy

Great looking car that, and one of my favourite colours too, looks really nice in the sun.

Love the colour, nice buy

panthro · 22 Mar 2011 at 03:45

That is such good value, especially from a dealer. At that price I wouldnt be worried about missing the iDrive and bi-xenons. I love beige interior too.

My god that looks nice.

A question for Fox: Can you get an M3 E92 in this colour combo?

Pics were taken using a Canon eos40d I think, benjo might have to correct me though?? The interior shot was taken using a 'fisheye' lens.

30D, but close enough

Lovely car mate

To be fair this car is properly cheap - especially from a dealer. I was looking at a Coupe today of the same specification only with iDrive (and obviously Xenons) and 6 months newer and it was £8k more!

This car is properly good value.

What's the reliability like with these cars, likely to throw up a large bill? Or is it fairly easy to get a BMW warranty for them assuming it hasn't got huge miles?

[TW]Fox · 22 Mar 2011 at 09:57

You can get a BMW warranty for that one for about £500.

That is one sweet car mate. Enjoy

Cookeh · 22 Mar 2011 at 19:16

Great buy, great colour combo.

hate to admit I can't stand the way these look aesthetically

Chives · 22 Mar 2011 at 20:28

Lovely! Enjoy that

pespro · 23 Mar 2011 at 01:00

Looks very nice mate.
Not sure if any BMW enthusiasts in here but whats the top 5 rank of BMW cars in performance?
Like for Golfs you have R32, GTi, GT... i think?

Always thought M3 was top but sure im missing some ultra expensive ones.

Looks sweet mate, congrats
