I really really hate unmatched tyres.....
Me too.

On a used car there are usually 1 or 2 OEM tyres on the rear, with a further mismatched pair of different ditchfinders on the front.

Partner has a 1.4 (?) diesal titanium, 08 plate on 80k, one of the first of the new (at the time) shape.

Had it a fair few years not, owes us little, but for what it is a I cant fault it. My E46 330ci is a nicer place to be on the motorway but the mpg is half and it spends a lot more time in a garage.

Only issue with the car are £200 for a new boot latch (switch failed, which randomly sets the boor open warning off if drive, and the alarm if locked) and an intermittent vibration inside the dash.

Has it heated seats And the quick clear windscreen
It has the windscreen, not the seats.
It also has a big frikkin dent in one of the wheels thanks to a pothole & the other three have a few dents in the rim so I’ve ordered new wheels & tyres all round.
Turns out the mk7 alloys were made of cheese & are often bent....
