I had no end of problems with my 330d sport! Was a nice looking car + good performance & fuel economy. I can't recommend one though

The 330d can be troublesome.. Injector,turbo and EGR issues are very common..

What about a petrol 330 sport ??

finding it hard to find a decent 330d for the money i want to spend, so found this and hopefully strike a deal if the price is right.

Hmmm..

Nice car,but too expensive if ya ask me..
It is an individual colour,and the trim looks in good condition from what ya can see..

Its ruined though with the gash headlights and the wheels dont suit it at all.

I would have to go over it with a toothcomb to give heavy money for it.

5 grand for a bazzed up eleven year old BMW, it looks about a grands worth.

At 5 grand I would look towards lower spec BMW's or other makes.

You could get a decent e36 M3 for that money. That looks horrible to me, but then again I drive a Saab 9000...

seconded on the Beemer - that's a shocker! Amazed people look at those at all. Worth 10p to me.

Old beemers are worth sack all. Sweeping generalisation but Beemers also get driven harder on average given their sporting credentials and suffer for it.

got let down by the buyer due to financial reasons apparently, but have looked around and the cars im want at the moment is either the bmw or supra, but due to practicality the supra out of the question, for now.
So had to re-advertise the car.
