+1 you could spend half that amount on a really nice 320d M Sport or even an E90 330d M Sport and save the £7k for anything else you'd like.

VED savings well the old 231330d is £280 a year v £130 a year or even )30 for the newest ones that's not a lot of saving given how much more you have to pay to buy a newer car.

Fuel savings will be minimal per annum and you will find he 3ltr is really surprisingly frugal on M ways plus he may keep it longer due to the good performance thus saving more in depreciation.

Are you talking E46 era cars? Certainly worth a look

No E90 330d.

£7.5k will easily get you a E90 330d M sport auto with all the toys - mine sold for £6.5k with full main dealer service history and in superb condition.

Are we talking mega miles? Everything we have looked at has been £15k upwards.
