Wouldn't you be better off getting a small/cheapish car if you're only goin to use it at weekends?? IMO, yould be crazy(no offence)getting an expensive car which is just going to sit in the driveway most of the time.......?

that would be the sensible thing but i have my mind set on one..

personally i like the first one,i think its the wheels that are the difference
it might be worth checking out a bmw clubs forum on pointers on what to look for and what to stay clear of! check out cbg.ie too,

on another note if you wer'nt to go for a beamer what about something like this,i know its a bit "mid-life crisis" but ya only live once
