I'd be tempted to go for a 328i and maybe lpg it.All the6-pots have pretty much the same mpg,in fact the 320 like mine is probably worse!

Ah well, lets hear it for BMW build standards and air bags. :-). It did kill my car though, so thats a major pain, insurance, finding a replacement, cost, police, etc...
Oh dear sorry to hear this nick. Glad your ok though.

I know the feeling all too well dealing with insurance, paperwork, police etc :(

Thing is with cars, it's easy to get "sucked in" to the hype that surrounds certain brands. (not saying that Nick and Ali have been !)

Sometimes one can be pleasantly surprised when trying a brand that would have previously been unthinkable.

I have had Citroen and Saab "fetishes" over the last 20 years and recently have become a Volvo convert. That's not to say that I conform to the stereotypical Volvo image though. :wink: :wink:

Yep, I think the reason I have a certain possibly misplaced brand loyality is that I have now over the last 10 years been involved in two incidents. both of which I have walked away from with bruses which I am sure if I had been driving other makes I would have not been around after the first to have my pelvis smashed in the one last weekend.

Well it's the first bm I've had,but I do like it I must admit.It's easy to see and feel the build quality.Mine is 16 years old,but you'd never guess that,it drives like a new car.Sounds nice too!
