Following from my idea about going for a 3 Series M Sport d (probably the 325d M Sport) or an A4, I've found something that satisifies all criteria...

BMW 330d SE Coupe

In black with full red leather, satnav etc, nice 5 spoke 18s, 231bhp AND 43.5mpg ... 50+mpg on the road I use everyday (A34!)

Would mean not being able to get it until next Macrh but would mean more time with the Golf, esp over the summer!!

Would look identical to that altho the seats would be the more bolstered sports seats (same leather) and diff wheels!

Umm... well, its under £40k





















Depends on the dealer really and the discount they are willing to give, if you look at the used ones thay are all as equally well specced as I would have so theres little to barter with there so its catching them on the day... a decent deposit is probs the best bet and a good trade-in... list is a little under £38k by the time you add GAP insurance

Joe... most certainly is a lot of money but then it is a lot of car for the money... i quite agree its not £38k's worht of car but then thts the premium for the badge and build quality etc. :S

Hold its value well as well so that it can be traded against that M3
