At this stage of owning previous cars, I am researching car magazines for my next car.

I am just back from a family holiday in York and thoroughly enjoyed the car during the trip. With the roof box on, it it gives loads of carrying space, but you do need to remember you have it on if you are "pushing on"! (obviously not exceeding 70mph!).

Seriosuly considering buying this car at the end of the PCP. It just seems to tick all the boxes. I will need to see what offers are available nearer the time, with the increased road taxes, it may make more financial sense just to buy it.

With this in mind, spending more time looking after the car. Will change to my summer wheels (442s) next week but here is picture after its post holiday wash and quick polish!

Why do these cars get under your skin....in a good way!!!!

because they are great cars and that 330d lump is ace!

I am totally with you on this....I was searching for a replacement car to my 330d. I had test drives in many, but other than buying same again...there is simply nothing out there that can match it as an all rounder. So I have just paid off my balance, the 330d is now staying with me for the foreseeable future.

I have bought it a little friend to keep it company though

Was thinking the same myself....what did you get?

I've always been a serial car changer. Usually 6-12 months, and I'm done

I bought my F31 in December 2013.

It's that good.

Same here, absolutely love my 330D! Does everything you ask of it, powerful, comfortable, spacious, what else would you need!

Shame though that diesels are in the firing line. Mine is a 2014 model and as such only Euro V certified. That means its value will plummet in the next year or two once Sadiq pushes on with the toxin charge in London

Same

When I stick mine on AutoTrader at the end of this year, however, I expect I'll shift it no problem. It's only Londoners who drive through the ULEZ who are going to avoid 2nd hand EuroV diesels - unless lots of other cities follow suit

Agreed, great car for the money and TRL is offering brilliant deals on M240i and M140i's on babybmw. Cheap car with the discounts.

Euro emissions status should be on your vehicle registration certificate (V5C)

[FarmerD]

I've bought mine. Had it 4 and a bit years now and put 87k on it. Love it!

I think 2014 onwards is Euro VI. Mine is a 2013, but I am comforting myself by knowing that after 4 years ownership it will be on 130k miles so future value not too much of a concern.

Thanks

It's 2015 onwards when Euro VI became mandatory. Mine was August 2014 and it's Euro V

Nice, look forward to seeing the pics and a write-up.

Anyway, back on topic.

[Jim-Bow]

It is a rather complete car!

I'm 40 months in and genuinely stumped with what to replace it with, got the feeling I'm gonna end up keeping it...

[CazuaLLUK]

Awesome, same here. absolutely love my car 16 months later!!
