my 318is coupe used 2 boil up all the time!!!!!

 

chris i like the ol zim zimmer, who got the keys 2 me bimmer and all but,

for me it would be the passat, personally id rather have a diesel for a daily hack so id b looking at a tdi, i know theyre a lot dearer, but honestly mate, you will have ecomomy and reliability then, and trouble free motoring, so you can spend money on an osf, and the new addition 2 your family, gotta think long term mate

 

also anything in the vag group thats diesel is what u want ie, scoda, seat, audi, volkswagen theyre all the same cars with different badges

I wouldn't on a beemer if it was on fire

 

In the words of David Bowie I may try "Putting out fire, with gasoline"

Another ting you gotta think about is running cost !

Big bimmer = big fuel bills (lots of gas) Hefty road tax - as the government keep slapping people with "gas guzzling ozone killa's" with more and more tax, a "smaller" car sounds better .

 

why you not looking at a nice mondeo estate ? keep it blue oval !!

 

Or be like me and get a nice VW BORA
