    I drove a 3 series bmw for the first time in ages today :eek:
    It was ba_barabus's 318. Its in nice shape for an 02 car! (it might have helped that he was working the DA on it as I drove in :) )

    Tbh I was surprised at how soft the setup was, I was expecting much stiffer.
    Nice car though, nice bloke too.

    I'd say my oil burner is faster though:pac:
    Yours is definitely faster but then again mine isn't covered in scratches :pac:

    Top bloke too and now you owe me coffee!

    I looked at an auto 330Ci earlier today.

    I have a few questions you could all help me with:
    What mpg would it return in town and motorway driving, how much are they to tax and is the price too strong?

    The seller is looking for €4000 but it comes with a FBMWSH and is absolutely immaculate. I don't mind paying more for a good one. I'm aware I can get one cheaper but I couldn't be bothered trying to buy a cheap one and make it into a good one as it always ends up more expensive in the long run.

    Around 20mpg around town and high 20's on a run would be my MPG.

    So one problem gets resolved, another begins!

    Deep droning sound coming from the left hand side of the car, possible imminent wheel bearing failing?

    Ithink you had a lucky escape with the Dodge Ram SRT10, my local Indy had one in when I was getting some work done last week. He's been looking after it for 4 years and it's gone through 4 clutches.

    Yeah it was rotten solid. This one was an auto though.
    I've been mulling it over in my head, and, even if I bought it for 500 squid there would still have needed thousands thrown at it!
