rjsnape Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Have just sold my car and want to buy a 3 series coupe. Thinking of the 325i M sport or the 330d M sport. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 What is your budget? And why not go for the 330i it's quicker and uses about the same juice as the 325i and makes a cracking noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsnape Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Budget is about £22k. Is is the same tax category, got to think of refuelling as well. How much does it cost to fill a tank? Also, insurance might be more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 The fuel difference is negligible and the insurance may be a little higher, but you will get a newer car than the 330d for less money as long as you don't do high mileage its cheaper in the long run. Mind you I had a look around and there aren't that many 330i or 325i's theses days everyone is going for small petrol or diesel models unfortunately.

Biscuits Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 With your budget, you'd get a great c2009 330d MSport coupe, like CM said you'll be pushed to find the 330i's these days as everyone goes diesel auto.

rjsnape Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I have checked insurance for the 325 and 330i, they are both the same. The 335i is too expensive looking at £1115. There are so many 320d for sale! I do like the gun metal grey colour though with red interior, have had a black car last time and it was high maintenance to make it look good. Just like you say there aren't that many about, have looked on ebay, autotrader, pistonheads and bmw approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
