a 320 is not much quicker to be honest, will nail you more on insurance and is not that moddable and drinks fuel like a plane

your better off with a tidy 318is to be honest

but im biased

The 320i is absolutely pointless unless you want to hear a nice noise.

A low-mileage well-looked-after 318i is what you need.

Or a 318is as Dan above suggested.

the 318i that i drove was fairly gutless

a 325i is the obviosu choice but its insurance for peopel like me that means i cant have one!

How much is your 318is insurance Dan?

Post Fri Dec 30, 2005 6:50 pm

1300 with a years no claims mate

they sed no to a 325 simply becuase of the capacity

how the bloody hell does that work then? jammy sod!

Post Fri Dec 30, 2005 7:01 pm

I've no idea. They wanted Ãƒ”šÃ‚£2600 for a Sport though I think.

Maybe it's a nice area. And the fact that I don't report all the shit that happens to my cars in order to keep the area grouping down

I decided against it in the end, really can't justify paying that much on insurance.

Though if you're a lucky f*cker whose Dad's a rich cunt as you once mentioned and is happy to pay for it for you....

Post Fri Dec 30, 2005 7:04 pm

my dad paid for me once! on a mk 2 golf which i killed lol

i pay it monthly now

Post Fri Dec 30, 2005 7:08 pm

It just goes to show how much the insurance quotes have gone up, When I was 19 with two years NCB.....My Sport was Ãƒ”šÃ‚£950 TPFT

Work it out, I am 26 and I was a couple of months off 20 back then!

26

Thought you were a lot older than that if I'm honest

Post Fri Dec 30, 2005 7:54 pm

318i's are not that slow, at 18 also. Get a well looked after one, you can always chip it, and im told it can match the 323i chipped well?!

(i have a 318i, could have guessed lol)

Would be a good idea to stay on topic, a lad's!

Anyway, my 318i is pretty quick tbh but i have driven other 318i's that have been rather guttless as Dan pointed out. Don't get the 320, go for an 318i-318is
