Agree Bobby, it's a great all rounder and still great fun to drive as well.

Not expensive to run either with 40+mpg all the time....

Cheers.

Thanks for the interest so far.

Not really looking for a part ex, just looking to sell really.

Would be open to offers and a bit of arm twisting as well!

Cheers Stiscooby-good luck in your search for a 328i. If you can stretch to it the newer 330i is a lot better car IMO.

Just taken delivery of the new model with 6 speed box and 208bhp. I still cant believe its a diesel. The mid range torque and acceleration has to be felt to be believed.

Back to the top for you

You lucky fella!

I haven't tried the new engine yet but the spec and 6 speed box looks very tempting.

Enjoy the Torque!!!

From what I have seen I wouldn't get a 330D for under 20K and my limit is about 16.5k must be a great car though, nice bit of torque and good mpg to go with it. What more can you ask for.

One of them is exactly what I need (good mpg with bit of power and the looks too ) but ain't got the squids!

Ah well

There are a few very high mileage 330D's that might fall into your price range M8. If my car was a UK car it would be £24k, shows what a bargain mine is!

Cheers,
Gareth.

Right, seems I've spent a bit too much effort with a true time waster....

I'm looking to sell this car, not just exchange a few e-mails and then be told "I didn't look at the advert properly.."

Doh!

Apologies for the rant, off to kick the dog....

Here we go mate...

This is a very nice looking car with the desirable sport pack and leather, best of luck selling it.

Here is the pic you sent me (I resized it because it was a little 'large' )



Cheers,
Grant

Thanks Grant-very good of you to stick the picture up. Car is perfect and I'm having a brand new 18'' alloy and new tyre fitted Thursday to replace a kerbed wheel. All will be 100% then!

Looking for offers, and would take £21,500 for it.

Cheers,
Gareth.

No problem at all...

Looks absolutely mint and after re-reading the spec I cant believe the value of this car, would be a good weapon with the re-map as well!!

Rescued from page 4, so BTTT for ya!!

Cheers,
Grant
