If you're prepared to leave yours behind at the burger van, it shouldn't be a problem... You're welcome to join me, but my turd is a 318i auto, not an iS or 325... Have to see who turns up... No problem leaving my motor at the burger van as long as I can get back to it!(Long walk from Hindhead!) Th...

Cheers Gordon, I should be able to make it do you thik it would be possible to go to the second part of the meet in someones 318is or 325i if anyone who has one is leaving from the hill?

Quality comment!

Thanks for the replies Gortour & Schuey. I would go for a two door no matter which model I go for, Looking at it so far I think the 318is ticks more boxes than the 325i for me. (Both seem excellent cars though) Having driven a 318i your right I need to get into a 318is - will check out local garages...

It will really come down to which is the better car for everyday use in terms of reliability, MPG, insurance, practicality. I'm in no rush so can wait until the right car comes along.

Thanks fellas, didn't realise I had hit a political wall on this one!
