6k budget 320d recommed yes or no
A friend of mine has 6k to spend and is looking at a 320d.(something other than a mondeo/passat / avensis or xtype )While I recon my yoke has delivered in spades in my 2.5 years of ownership (e39) I just cannot bring myself to recommend a BMW. While I can fcuk around and tackle most jobs on a car myself, if I were to think of the cost of getting someone to do the the work I have done it wouldn't be practical ownership.
So in short with this budget, 15k yearly milage and no mechanical experience could you recommend a 320d over the above cars. Dynamically bmw there is no contest but purely on a yearly cost and reliability basics do they make sense in this situation. Cheers

No I Defo would not recommend one, a passat or Audi as long as it's not a bk engined car or the 2.0 you'll never have a moments bother

I get you but how many st diesels have came through the door busted [emoji1]
Id say its just as reliable as the 2.0d units

I know like sline or msport but they look much better and come better spec'd then standard mondeos
I can only give my opinion i like them and would have one over an audi maybe even a 320d i couldn't be responsible for putting another felt spec rs4 tdi on the road
I like the st's for the difference they provide you dont come across many on the roads and that appeals to me
