Choice....AUC 2005/55 325i SE or 2007 318i SE

What would you go for...part financed over 4 years. Mileage around 7-8k pa.

Always fancied the 6 cylinder E90 but is it going to be too old and expensive by beginning of 2014?

Views please. Thanks.

For me, it'd have to be the 325i. There's less than two years between the two cars, and the 325 will be much more satisfying to own over the four years, particularly if it's what you've always fancied. Buy the 318 and while you'll have a more up-to-date plate, you'll most likely always wish you had the 6-cylinder engine.

Granted, the 55-plate car will be around eight years old by the start of 2014, but even the 2007 car will be almost seven years old by then. By that time the difference in age is neither here nor there.

E90 has epic build quality get the in-line 6 you won't regret it..... Or get the 330i???? I'm biased but the engine is yummy!!
