Been looking around at cars recently as wanting to upgrade to something bigger & came across the below. what do you think - has anyone driven a 3 series compact or own one?

Got about 5K to spend, any other ideas?

Them round lights on the Compacts are ugly

Edit: Looking at the pictures, for £5k thats a nice car, love the interior on it, possibly could look beyond the headlights!

Quite a lot of car for the money - the one to go for is a 325Ti Sport though but more expensive

I'd consider a Golf or Leon for £5k though.

Would defo have one of them then, they where like £7k a few months ago when I was looking at the ST170s. I've been tempted by an ST220 Mondeo but I just don think I could afford to run it! Some brilliant cars going for silly money these days!
