Thanks for the comments:- Superman it's a manual, I like changing gear. DazH good luck finding a good one mine's a 3.0, not mint but tidy. The engine sounds awesome. Nearly as good as my previous toy a Triumph Daytona 955i.
Sadly my 118D M sport 5 door goes tomorrow after 4 years and 67000 miles of trouble free motoring. Sadly though it's cost me a fortune as it has successfully introduced me to BMW's. Since getting it I have bought a Z3 as well and am replacing it with a 320d M sport.
Went to Aix en Province in my 1 -series last year. Drove back from Aix to North Lincs in 1 day on my own (the toll booths were a pain in a RHD car), but what an excellent car.
Just joined today having bought a 3.0 litre Z3 as a toy, I am lucky enough to have a 5 door 1 series M sport as my every day car. To save on my insurance I need to join a car club any suggestions/ recommendations?
