Hi, I currently have a 325i petrol which before the pandemic I used to really only use at weekends as I work in London and travel by train every day. Circumstances have now changed and even when this virus is under control I am likely to continue working from home 3 days a week but... I will take my wife to work first each morning which is just 3 to 4 miles away. I have been looking at getting something more economical and tax friendly as my 325 is £30 per month road tax. I like the look of the 1 series and much more choice and economy with diesel models but I have read reviews that you shouldn't drive diesel if you are just making short journeys because of the dpf. I have a budget of around £7k so 2011 to 2014 models. Can anyone advise if they use diesel for day to day town driving and is this OK?
Thanks
Martin
