I couldnt say when the last time the plugs were changed, but i thought as its the first service it's having in my ownership its good to do EVERYTHING and then atleast i know where i am with it should i need to hold onto it for longer.

Money's tight and my jobs bad so everything is being weighed up at the moment. MOT and tax due for renewal in the next month so if all goes well i could have a just serviced car with 12months tax and MOT which would probably fetch 200 quid more than an unserviced. untaxed MOT failure.

i'm going to have a good, long, hard think about it all and go from there.

as for the plugs i'll figure something out, there seems to be access points but they are miniscule so may need some fiddling.

To be fair i doubt i'd spin a 320. Having never driven a RWD car i'm st scared of them and as a result have immense respect for them.

I'm not your typical young driver, i wont get a RWD car just so i can do dougnuts and drift etc etc. I will get a RWD car so i can experience what its like.

Theres nothing wrong with RWD cars.. Aslong as you remember their basically pushing the car along, rather than dragging it along.

MX5s are fun thats for sure.. Definately biggrin
MX5's may be great fun but i need practicality frown

Still im sure a straight 6 will help restore some of the fun factor.

If you're talking e46 then the straight six started at 325i from memory. Others were the four pots.
Im looking at E30's and E36's and the 320's were 6 cylinder 12 valve M50 engines
