Picked this up on Saturday, 2006 325i M-Sport in Le Mans blue with grey leather, top spec including i-drive. To say i'm pleased is a massive understatement... this car is brilliant!







It feels much more modern than my sadly departed e46 coupe, as it should really, but it has the same BMW "feel" which is even present in my old E30. there is just something about the way they drive. And it gives out a lovely subtle 6-cyl burble, and sounds great as you head towards the top end of the rev range, which i have been doing quite a lot as once you get the revs up there it properly flys!

They're nice cars, very different in feel to the 4 cylinder diesels; much better.

What kind of mpg are you getting?
Have been looking at 320D's but these keep catching my eye smile

Averaging 28mpg on the trip computer so far... but i have been "enjoying" it to the full biggrin once i add in some long journeys in normal use i am expecting 30-32mpg average. not exactly 320d economy but not bad and in my view totally worth it for the characterful straight six!

had my 325 m sport for over 4 years and I love it to bit's. I do a fair bit of mileage at it has racked up 140k miles now.

I really should swap it for a 335d but dont have any spare cash as I got the wife a new car. It may have 200k on it when im done.

I have a BMW performance exhaust and its sounds great.

Enjoy.

i have been looking through the BMW Performance catalogue, which was dangerous! i have a long wish list now. Starting with the dark line rear lights and carbon bootlip spoiler.

Ah this is a beautiful, beautiful car, I used to have an E46 coupe too and in this colour, still kick myself for trading it in (bull terrier started chewing the seatbelts) I've got an E90 now but not an M3 unfortunately! You're very lucky :P I'll post some pics up of mine later smile
