scotgc,

What engine did you go for and what extras did you get? I got the 320d with just plain old Metalic Paint, but I have the Sh1tty Import Tax here in Ireland. Can you believe this the Government wanted 10,000 euros VRT on the 56 (Jan) GTi and only 5,500 euro on my Oct 07 BMW. Also just to show you how Fecked Up this country is..... Road Tax on BMW in UK £120 here in Ireland 620 euro. Now if the BM was an 08 model it would only have been 150 euro. If I had bought an X3 with the same 2 litre diesel engine it would only be 490 euro. What a shower of "See You Next Tuesday's" they are over here!  :angry:

You will come back mate, I am sure. I had two VW Golfs (one a GTi and the other a V6 4Motion) and then jumped to BMW ownership. I had a 325i Sport and then a 330d M Sport. They are nice cars don't get me wrong but there are things that VW do better! The thing I found owning a BMW is the attention it attracted and not always for the right reasons! Change of job meant I had to sell the BMW but going back to VW ownership has been like coming home!

The 325d looks nice though.... Should re-map nice too!!!

Give me an R32 anyday! The build quality of a BMW isn't all that its cracked up to be. I am not saying VW is perfect but then a VW doesn't cost as much either!!

I have more fun factor out of my Mk4's (all of them) than the BMW's every gave me  :wink:
