    I'd go msport in the f30's, they look stunning and very mean. Alot f30 sports advertised as msports

    If you're looking at a 320d have a look at a 330d too. The tax is the same, vrt very similar but the 330 is smoother and goes like stink. In the real world I think my Mrs f31 330d auto is faster than my e46 m3!

    Depends on your mileage and the roads your driving if an M-Sport or Sport is the correct choice Mrs46 went for the sport with the 19inch alloys and in fairness to her its class
    Great driving car it's had the steering rack replaced and two rear window motors under warranty if you want a chat about them drop me a pm with your number
    Good luck on the hunt

    We bought a 318d sports saloon in 2013 and then a 320d sport saloon in 2016

    The 320d is obviously quicker but not insanely so...

    Neither car gave an inch of trouble.. they had the service inclusive and in the 3 years we had the 318d I didn't have to buy anything for it (not even tyres - we did about 35k miles in it).

    They are pretty decently specced and the only thing we added was the auto folding mirrors. The seats are pretty decent and the only gripe I had was that the adjustment rails were a bit poor... But I'm too used to auto memory seats

    Oh and we left it on the standard rims with RFT tyres - it was very comfortable and not at all crashy...

    Cheers for the advice. Forgot to mention, will be heading over the pond for it so lots to choose from. Leaning heavily towards msport in either 318d or 320d guise and yes I would love xenon's Dillon
