BMW 120D VS 123D or something else

You don't really do enough miles to benefit from a diesel, but if you are set on one then go for it. I am a big fan of the 123d. It's not exciting in the traditional sense of enjoyment but as a useful little commuter with loads of punch and a decent chassis I can see the appeal. I've done quite a few miles in a first generation 123d and despite the apparently meagre headline bhp figure, the ease with which it can deliver a sackload of punch is impressive and makes for a fantastic mid-pace overtaking machine.
That's true they do look good. Maybe better with a petrol or something other than a 1 series but still German ZX10R NIN said:
Lol you really can't make up your mind can you, I see the budget has crept a bit.
If you want a diesel BMW then get yourself an Alpina D3 they have fantastic handling & with your budget you should be able to grab a BiTurbo version & they hold their money well.

Personally I'd go for 335i it's a very sweet steer with a good engine (although the intercooler on both the 1&3 are not good enough & really need to be changed for a more efficient one) and just a nicer place to be than a 135i imo.

I know others have mentioned Diesels aren't worth it for 12K miles. True - However the 2.0 D3 Bi Turbo is different and far more special than normal 3 series.
Look after it and you will not loose much.
For example I sold my 58 plate Bi Turbo coupe 4 years ago on same mileage as this for only £1K more
Worth visiting.
