I know, E92 build quality isn't up to BMW standards although it should still better the little SEAT.
£30K is a lot to rinse on such a vehicle.
If I had £30K to rinse (meaning I don't need that £30K for anything else!), I'd be looking at new 370Z's.

I love it.
That's all that matter in the long run I suppose.
Although every purchase always gets picked apart on here!

It's a bit of shame you didn't get built in Sat Nav, expensive German cars always look a bit rubbish without it.
Why did you have to have a new one and not get a 6-12 month old one with BMW warranty or something?
A few reasons really, not least because I've always wanted to buy a new car on my own, and now I'm capable of doing so.
You bought your Mini new though didnt you?
I remember the equally suprising 'spec me a £14k car low on insurance I am a full time Uni student' thread back in 2007

Cor, if only I had 30 grand to spend on a car. I'd buy the most awesome Corvette I could find *day dreams*
Or a JCB Sitemaster 4X. Bloody close to needing one with the state of the roads around my area

IDrive or not, that is a stunning looking car Lonz and you got what you wanted, so congrats!
I know from experience that you don't always make the logical choice when it comes to car buying, but if its what you had your heart set on that's more important that what the next owner thinks. Either way there will be depreciation and I am sure you are prepared for that.
Enjoy!

If I bought a car that looked sporty I'd at least want it to shift some!

Yup, but I had a bit of help with buying it though.
It's not slow, and certainly quicker than my old MINI. But yeah, as above in my previous posts. In a few more years down the line when I'm looking to replace this, I may well be looking at a new car that I'd want to be a bit quicker, who knows. I MAY EVEN BUY A SECOND HAND ONE!
One thing I am regretting though, is not buying the DAB radio. I've forgotten how bad 5Live can sound.

Did you have a Mini One, D, Cooper or Cooper S ?
Man of Honour
It's obvious it wasn't a Cooper S, come on now

This ^
It was a Cooper. With go-faster stripes.
The cooper can do 0-60 in like 8.9s ?
How fast is this 320D?
