Help me sort my life

[drisser]

Hi guys

sorry I have probably bored everyone with my dilemma about being offered new job 2 days ago with the likely chance of going abroad after 2.5 to 3 years... time for the Friday afternoon poll !

I just got the company car list, all diesel, no petrol cars, but at least the GTD is on it.

That, coupled with a very good M135 deal and no news on my GTi order has left me with 3 choices..

Stick with the GTi, but who knows when it will come, order the 135 and get it in less than 6 weeks, for almost same price as the GTi, or do the sensible thing and keep my old 330 Ci for 6 months then order a GTD company car so I can hand over the keys and walk away if going abroad

To be fair, if I knew there was a high chance of me getting sent abroad in 2.5 - 3 years, I'd probably go down the GTD company car route purely to avoid hassle.  It's still a cracking car, and if you don't get sent abroad, I guess you could always take the money next time around and get your own private car?

Really going to town on the thread creation today huh drisser? I'm just kidding.

Ok so here is how I see it.

<---- RISK - SAFE ---->
M135 - GTI - GTD

Reasoning:
- M135 is less of an all rounder and if you were forced to sell up probably will lose you the most money.
- GTI is in the middle
- GTD makes everything easy for you... but is it what you want?

EDIT:
3 votes in and its 33:33:33.  Lads, this isn't helping him!

Blimey, the vote's only just started bear!    Of course it's not helping...yet!

[Bill_the_Bear]

Lol, Friday afternoon = wind down time !!

I do agree with you though, M135 is quick fix and probably more costly, GTD is simple safe option..

GTD is the option to go with Drisser.

Hassle free, enjoy the 330 for another 6 months knowing that you have a cracking car coming.

M135i - no brainer. Waiting till November? No guarantee it'll come then either. Beemer much quicker for the same money!

[Gung-Ho]

My money would be on the M-lite!!! But that's only because I'm a huge M-power fan. True... It's not a full fat M car but I'm sure its no slouch either... The 135i would have been my other choice if it wasn't for the GTi.

Sorry guys, but I'm going to bore you all with a little sensibility 

If you 'may' go abroad and thus cannot agree on vehicle, I would suggest a cheap company option (either dieseasel or hybrid) in order to keep your company car tax minimal. Once decided on your future i.e. staying in our pleasant and (sportingly) winning country then opt for the GiT
