I see official details of the M235i have been released, more of a looker than the one but starting at £34k is a bit of a premium over the M135i (all be it you get 20bhp more), by the time you add the auto and some toys, they have performance brakes and a proper LSD to tick boxes you could easily be in for 40k

Looks wise, not my cup of tea.

A way off yet, but other half has agreed I can get mk7 R in Sept 2015.  Oh, the power of persuasion  :evil:

First impression is that it feels like the Edi in terms of comfort. Not really done a lot with it yet but I'm racking up 600 miles per week so ext week will be the real test.

^^Looks v nice Ginge.

You have packed in a few goodies there !!  :cool:
I think Estoril is a fantastic colour and the M sport body styling really makes the car. I'm toying with changing next year and the 3/4 series are on my list but would be x-drive due to where we live.

Cheers, its unbelievable that the 330 came out cheaper on contract hire than the 320. The company car tax is less than the GTi so a bit of a no brainer really.
