Crazy aint it?!

I was looking for a tow car recently and opted for a 2000 model BMW 330d estate as its £70 cheaper to tax than a 2001 emmission based tax 330d.

Add some 19" wheels and hey presto.

Fuck that - pay a probably another 50% value on top for buying one. And pay about 12p a litre more for the fuel so you hardley save anything on your day to day costs which you have already wasted buying the car

you feel it more with a diesel though, a derv would be quicker than a V6

Yes and gives you a false sense of acceleration.

Like the passats at work. 2.0 tdi 140 engine. Your thinking yer it accelerates like fook...yet you are struggling like fuck to do a saxo vtr

Seems they are slowly catching the lexus unit but still a nit behind the BMW 4 pots with less cc

however it does have more ibs/ft

I agree - even the 170 VAg units are like that

However wityh nearly 200 BHP it will not be slow

However the rev range of a petrol is something I miss

Your missing the point. Im saying acceleration in a saxo vtr dont feel too quick but in the passat feels rapid

Just first little car that came to my head

Yeah, same thing though, on a 2nd hand market, as there are less of them
