BMW Daily Driver

[KenJ]

Evening all,

After posting a couple of months ago about my weekend toy (see link below), I thought I'd put up a few pictures of my daily driver.

It's a BMW 318d M-Sport in metallic black. I know, not the most exciting car on Pistonheads, but as a daily driver I genuinely cannot fault it.

I bought it 3 months ago on only 14500 miles (it's an 09 plate) and have been really pleased. Being an M-Sport it looks good (in my opinion) with a nice stance and factory body kit. It's fantastic on the motorway, purring along at a good speed on the cruise control in almost silence with great economy. I see about 48mpg on mixed runs; not bad for an auto I reckon.

The climate control is great, a real bonus in the hot weather we've had recently and the cabin in general is a nice place to be. Anyway, here's some pictures.

Nice one OP, its like one of those formula one jobbies, you know it drives on the ceiling.

That car sticks to the road very well indeed!

That is a cracking low mileage example & I agree they do look purposeful in M sport spec, nice daily.

Maybe OP is Australian?

[KenJ]

No, not Australian, just made a mess of adding the pics. Any idea if there's a quick way to turn them around?

I still think these are a very nice looking car especially in the later LCI form. Currently trying to persuade a friend to go for one of these in a business edition sport spec rather than an A6 2.7 tdi as the performance doesn't appear to be massively different but the running costs seem a lot lower
