Thinking about upgrading...
Discussion
I've had my (14 plate) F21 - 120d M Sport since mid 2015, picked it up with 4k on the clock and it's now sitting on just shy of 44k and I've been thinking about replacing it of late. I'd love to get a proper M car but just can't afford it at the moment, have a budget of around £30k assuming I can get roughly £10k for the 120d.
My annual mileage is only about 5 or 6k just now, mainly short journeys but the occasional 3 or 4 hour drive to the north of Scotland/down south, so not sure whether to stick with diesel or move back to petrol. I'd like something with 300+ bhp, less than 20k miles, preferably 18/19 plate & will probably be looking for a 5 door as we're early 30s, recently married and have a 4 bed house to fill... I've been eyeing up a few 335d touring cars and just wondering if you were in my shoes with the same requirements, what would you go for?

Prices are pretty mental just now yeah. I've asked the dealer for a quote for what they'd give me for my car & going to go have a look/test drive whenever we're allowed up here. 340i looks promising but it's finding one with the right spec - no horrible interior, HK, HUD, possibly digital cockpit.

Looks good, I’m sure you are delighted with it. Stratstone Chesterfield by any chance? They’ve have some keenly priced cars, that’s when I got my i8 from.
Yep the very same. Agree they have some nicely priced cars - this one has a lot of spec for the price I got it for compared to other garages.Minor annoyance in that I've picked up one without folding rear seats 
Why wouldn't they make this standard vs a £350 option? Crazy. Guess it'll keep the interior cleaner with fewer runs to the skip...
I think once my bank account has recovered from the shock of it's first car purchase in 6 years I'll look into buying whatever equipment is necessary to mess about with coding, would like the mirrors to close on locking & adding a few extras like Apple CarPlay etc.
