tbh the motor that you mentioned will cause you few if any problems. german build quality and are very popular. they go a bit too. nice turbo lump that can be tweaked. i think a remap can see a fair hike without even changing anything else.

although the nice straight 6 sound of a 2.5 bmw you can get the 330 ci fully loaded for sensible prices now.

Nick if you do decide to get a BMW please please promise you won't turn into the sort of bloke who cuts scooby owners up to try and wind them up, like most BMW owners do around here!

Dave,

I just want something less expensive for me to run, I only have the one car so its now an everyday driver and the MPG is really not that great for me around town and the insurance is a lot for me too as I had a claim (No wheelie bin jokes please!! lol) about 2 years ago that wrote my last Scooby off! lol

Also with a Scooby I will always want to do more to it and the mods cost me a fortune and I want to stop all the paying out!! lol

I will still be around though I am sure

Nick why not join Supercue & MarkB4 with a little MX5?
They have twice the membership of the MSOC lol
At least they are still fun to drive and much cheaper to run than the Scoob plus you get to run the Scoob at weekends

Supercues insurance has fallen by over 50% by putting it on a lower mileage policy
