99, 130k miles, Ã,£3700.

Interior is usual BMW basic, ride is smooth, but rolls a little too much for my liking!

Should add - its the lower HP model - supposedly low 8s 0-60 (Manual gearbox), but feels much slower.

Only fault with it was that it needed a new belt for the AC.

The plastic fan guard was also warped and rubbed on the fan when it came on.

There are a few dents and scratches, and a few tiny rust spots around the boot - but BMWs do seem to rot pretty easily. Easily fixed though

Is this what you just bought ?

Ã,£3700 its been round the world and it doesnt even have a leather interior.. looks like your still paying for the badge even on used ones

You wont get a manual one for less than Ã,£5000 (Maybe 5500-6000) for the same year and trim though, so quids in

The larger engine also lasts longer than normal 2000cc or so units - i have seen one last nearly as long as french diesels - still wouldnt be too keen on it though!

"apparently" the only real difference between the sport and non-sport models of the diesels are the turbos on them.... (for the pre-new model ones anyway)

tho im taking it with a pinch of salt tbh...

still keeping my eye out for a new turbo for mine tho
