What car?

[Brennan]

Looking to change the motor, currently drive a remapped BMW E90 318d. Basically looking for something a bit quicker, being only 23 i have to remember insurance is expensive, so no silly suggestions please.

Basically the only criterias i have are, it has to be 180bhp+ diesel, and it has to look good

So it doesnt matter if its 4-door saloon or 2-door coupe.

So what have you got?

Budget?

Budget?

8.5k would be max, i know if its a prestige brand the miles would be on the higher side so that doesnt bother me

 

[tomah]

If it has to be 180bhp+ standard, then your best bet is probably gonna be bmw 330d.

VW phaeton v10 tdi, 313bhp 553lb/ft. I'm sure you could pick up a high miler for 8.5k.

Are you unhappy with your car?

It's bigger, faster, and more comfortable. The badge is the same, that's about it.

Not unhappy with my car at all, if it had more grunt i'd probably hang onto it. I just want to evolve to something quicker.

330 seems to be the ideal car for what i want/need, im just faced with, would it really feel like i had a new car or is it just the same deal but quicker

This is my car, you can see what i mean

Buy an //M3 then, you're only young once!

Not that you ever listen to a word i say anyway...even though 9/10 times i was right But i think it would be a bad move! Speed/power aint everything (which funnily enough is what you were preaching to me a few weeks back after me buying a quicker car than you )

nice cars, but its just not me

I never liked them either until the neighbour got one similar colour to my old BM, estoril.

Inside is a bit of a let down though.

Why diesel? Do you do loads of miles?
