Never owned a BMW before but am looking for a nice daily in the next 12 months that will do around 30 miles a day give or take.
Budget up to £15k.
The Diesel will probably make little sense but I do like the idea of the silky smooth engine.
Want something not too ruinous to run, fairly comfortable with a bit of poke.
Probably prefer auto too.
Any 330i owners here, seems like a good compromise to me and makes most sense.
Thanks.

I've looked at these in the past. they do hold their money well but would probably suit me.

Nice car, will add to the list.
You do forget about cars like this as there are so many variants.
4 doors a must, not specifically looking at estates but they do appeal.
A touring example here; 330D (N57, great engine, BMWs straight 6 goodness etc). Good spec also and looks well in white:You do forget about cars like this as there are so many variants.

The full build of my F31 is here if you want to see how these cars can be looked/maintenance wise etc:

I've been lucky that I got a good car to begin with; looked after and well maintained by BMW for a lot of its life and then indy's and BMW from when I bought it
Made it very much my own; but really enjoying it and would highly recommend an F3x over an E9x car, as above. Both are good; but the F3x is that bit more newer; with better tech etc and a great drive too
I think id lean toward the 330d as i prefer the low down torque driving characteristics and better fuel economy, its just the engine that worries me but i will do some more research on it.
I appreciate its been said if they are looked after they are generally ok but its still a concern.
I have already had to spend £4000 replacing an engine in a poxy NIssan in the last 5 years that failed at 37000 miles so thats left a very sour taste in my mouth.
