Thinking about buying a 320d sport are they any good?

New Shape? I might be looking at these as a company car as the budget does not allow for a 335d

Sorry it's a 2004 my in black

would not bother, the new shape is far better which means old shape prices are going to start to drop in a big way.

Geesta - my other half picked his 320d sport (M) coupe on Monday... 53 plate, in titanium silver. Selling the Scoob.

Very very nice car - managed to get quite a deal on it - 20k genuine miles on the clock, just been serviced etc by BMW new tyres all round.

I'll get him to stick his handling thoughts etc up for you

Aren't the 320d engines unreliable? I've heard of turbo failures posted on here. The 330d is a better bet IMHO.

E46 320d Sport Manual IMO you can't get a better 3 series. The 4 pot is very punchy yet frugal - we run a 330d at work, great car - costs loads to run though. VFM I think the 320d pips the 330d

Thanks for the advice. I sold my scoob last year but I still use scoobynet because the advice and the people are 1st class. Cheers.

I've recently driven the 330d sport. I really liked it. I'm looking to secure a 320d sport soon and get it chipped

Varboy

loved my 330d

wife currently has a 120d (same engine as the 3), it's fast but going from the scoob to the BM it's like 'where's the power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I was looking to get 1 of these but my budget went upto 02/52 plates - it was up to this age when the turbo failures were common so 03 plates onwards should be fine

geesta

Just bought it today. I was well impressed with the build quality compared to the Scoob......Not as fast though.
