Here we go again...recommendations/ thoughts?
So the Audi thing didn't pan out, for one reason or another.
Got fed up with looking at tat so signed on the line for this today...320i (B48 engine) F31 in 'luxury' trim. Don't quite know what the luxury is as it isn't exactly brimming with toys! Low miles, great service history (every 3k miles yearly) though. Looks like Melbourne Red to me. £10k cheaper than some of the Audis I was looking at.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Just realised that once this arrives and the new E89 (if my transporter ever actually gets it), we will have only BMWs in the household....

Hope they're sorting that front wheel first though?

Nope! All four need attention but they are not as bad as they look (mostly lacquer peel). I will do them myself or may even get some different used wheels.

The Mazda will be for sale when the F31 arrives, so not counted that.

Very nice
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

My equivalent of your X3, mate. For going to the tip, fishing and general duties.

Can never go wrong with an estate BMW I had an F series 5 series for a bit and it was a joy to own, never put a foot wrong. Always fancied an estate version of those
