Treat yourself!

2.5L straight six 👌🏻. I had a 525i and it was a great car. Depending on what kind of driving you do. If it’s mostly motorway I’d get an auto personally. Have a look on YouTube there are loads of people having these as project cars so you can get the idea of maintenance cost, running costs etc… good luck! 👍🏻

I have always done most my own work to my cars. Started on little things like brakes, servicing etc… not put my BMW in a garage for years. When I did put my car in for a service I use my local independent.

My uncle has a bmw and he puts into the local main dealer he gets ripped off left right and centre. He even buys tyres from them and it’s astronomical the prices they charge.

I always shop around for everything, parts & tyres. Try and get the best price for everything and fit/repair things myself where possible.

Personally, yes very. Tbh my 330d the front drivers side shock failed so I replaced all 4 and it developed a gearbox leak but it was the oil cooler lines. Two £2 o rings and it was sorted.

I only got rid of the 330 because someone crashed into it and wrote it off otherwise I’d still have it now.

Absolutely 0 issues with the 430 so far 👍🏻

330d and 430d are amazing cars. If you can afford running costs and maintenance costs then deffo one of them

I was thinking this as I was driving this morning, M340i drivers seem to be the most furious drivers of all. Aggressively accelerating for no reason between lights etc. are they just angry because they couldn’t quite afford an M3?
