RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
Diesels are Defo not to be over looked in the above case anyway, more scope for power also over the petrol. Is it the petrol you want, I still miss petrol even though the 46 would monster my last car, I miss the revy nature, the sound, the abuse they can take..but simply cannot over look the power, the economy the tunibility the pace, torque etc gone are the days of 90hp golfs and rattly sdi yokes
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
I really miss my 320d auto , I would go for diesel over petrol ! probably even for 335d not 335i . its more how u will use it ,very short distances and quite low mileage or more than that ,only my opinion

I was adamant I was going petrol and 110% 6-pot. Now doing the searching, the import sums, and whats available even with upping the budget by 4k, I'm facing the possibility of another diesel! I don't do the mileage to warrant it, and am fearful of unnecessary diesel maintainence costs, but if I'm to replace the E46 in the next fortnight, I can't rule them out anymore.

Hi V, any feedback / experiences with the 325d (3L I6 single turbo from 2007?)
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
Diesels have definitely come a long way! No doubt about that :)
BUT if you were set on a petrol, I fear you may end up feeling like you didn't get what you wanted. Don't settle, wait for what you want and it'll be worth it in the end ;)
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
Most BMW diesels are very good and this 325d strong as well .but do have chain problems on high mileage cars , not as low as N47 do fail .the one I had with broken chain had over 300k km I think
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)
I'm travelling next week, so at least I can't (won't!) do something stupid :D buys me til early February to do something. Or plan B, buy a €1k Corolla until what I want turns up, then flip the reliable 1k shitbox!
RE: E92 Search (and engine choices!)

I've got 14k of my own hard earned sitting in my back pocket. I've had my fun with brand new cars (everyone needs to experience that once in a lifetime - along with owning an Alfa or 3). :cool:
C'mon Doktor - surely you can pull a used diesel (or petrol) out of the bag for me?!

I'd be looking at something like this

The LE has a great spec and will drive really well.
I am assuming that all 3 litres will have the same road tax.
Bulletproof engine with very little to go wrong. And tons of mods readily available second hand.
