Hi, just joined up. My dads had a couple of old 5 series in the past and recently bought a 2003 318i, had a couple of goes in it and loved it, although i'm a ford man, i've had 4 fiestas, a mk2 escort and a mk3 capri, i still have the escort capri and one fiesta. i'm desperate to say farewell to the fiesta, even though its a brillaint little car, and i've got my heart set on a 630i, been looking around and 6 years ago or so its was £45k + and now there getting to be around the £10000 mark, seems like a bit of a bargain to me. although i'm only 23 i'm saving for one as much as i can, insurance isn't too bad looking at £1300. i don't do massive miles so petrol wont be too bad, and with 6 gears should be able to get a reasonable MPG out of it. although i might not post much at the moment, once i can get one ill be about. Paul.
