Get the 120d bit more poke and not much worse of the mpg,

Tapatalked on a Xperia Arc S

The 118d is just a de-tuned 120d though - remap sees 180bhp if thats your kind of thing. Insurance is a big problem for me tbh so i have to be careful with what car i get. My dad had the 318d m sport and it felt just as quick as mine and a lot more refined!

thats the car im currently doing a deal on, fits your spec as well, im also getting the polestar tune done to it, I know its a Volvo but hey, it drives well, well spec'd comfy, well built and looks awesome

Yeah, i had a look at a white one of those with the lower powered 2.0d engine. Decided it's a bit old manish for me tbh. Quirky, rare car too.

I do fancy a BM tbh, my family have had a lot of them and they have never missed a beat plus they are well built and quiet which i've decided is something i need!

i know what you mean but hey its quirky something different and once tuned will surprise alot of people lol, i was brought up in 5 series up until the new plate styles when the rents changed brands so I know what you mean, built like tanks reliable great handling, the only comment i ever had was they were too good if that makes any sense??

Yeah i suppose they do stand out, do like the interior with the two tone leather :) My dad has the current 520d m sport and it a nice motor, better than my mums rr sport tbh. I don't mind something thats too good then ha ha. Did you get a decent p/x for the ibiza?

the interior is classy its not cluttered, its well laid out and i love the center console lol and you sink into the seats, i will buy a flat cap to drive it tho haha

better than i expected lol considering mine is higher than average mileage and on a 56 plate (november 2006) and the wheels needed a refurb, the fact that i got enough to gain a little equity from the finance i was happy which is why i went with something more expensive than i normally would have done lol

the last we had was an s reg 523i se was a lovely car in jet black, the fact that it was a company car it was really high mileage when we gave it back it was on something like 165,000 miles and everything was solid and never had any major problems apart from me as a kid writing clean me on the boot lid :whistle:

Should think they are! Was a mint example.

You decided what you're after to replace it yet? Couldn't hack the journey by bus forever!

They just text me after driving home in it (185 miles) to say they are over the moon with it. Glad they are happy with their purchase :)

Not really tbh, there is a car that could potentially be mine, but i don't want to say too much incase it falls through...

Oh it's going to kill me having to use public transport again - i always get stuck with jake balls or people who want to talk to you lol.

Hence why I cycle the 14 miles to work when I leave the car at home.
Don't like public transport :censored:
Plus, I can cycle in faster than the journey time of getting a bus or the train. :lol:
