My mates dad is taking delivery of a boxster s (barsteward/poofter delete as appropriate) and has offered me his BMW 330Ci Sport for in the region of £11K. The car is a sport in Imola red (I think thats the colour, its a solid red), black leather seats - heated & memory, 60k on the clock, recently serviced FMBWSH), new gearbox not so long ago due to the last one breaking and a TomTom 500 thrown in for free!!. Thats as much as I know, but I am not sure if I should be biting his arm off for this deal? His boxster arrives at the end of august/beginning of september. What do you all reckon?
For those of you that own these (NickXX et al) can you give me some details on the running costs? Im currently driving a clio 172, how much more will the BMW be to run? Cheers!

(awaits possible pimpage by Nick :p)

EDIT: its a 51 (2001) reg and a manual 5 speed.

Thanks for all the info guys. I think it would be rude if I didnt take up this offer. After all I am young and single so I need to fill the void with something!

All I need to do now is sell my car......... any takers! :p

I will get some more info on the car and post back the exact specs. Also, I remember someone (Fox I think) mention that the 5 series had cam chains instead of belts, is this the same for the 3?

How in Gods name is that possible, best I can hit is 22mpg and that's when the lass drives it. :( :p

Damn thats a good looking car. I love that interior too. Dont think my potential one has a spoiler though.
Thats some low mpg though! I get about 30-35 mpg from the clio so going to 22 might be a big shock! Once I have thought about things a bit more (got till september and I already have first refusal on it) I will take a test drive.
