Right as some of you may know i was on the hunt for a replacement to my forester s/tb, i wanted something to chew up the daily commute, had to have as many toys as possible, be comfortable, reliable and at the same time a little fun to drive, was looking to spend about 3k may be a little more for the right car.

was looking at a car around 01-03 and had a vectra GSI, Mondeo ST and a BMW 330 ci m sport in mind, the Vectra did not come up with many recommendations although it would of been the cheaper and lowest mileage of the lot, so the choice came down to the ST and 330CI, the mondeo wa more likely to be slightly newer and lower miles with a similar spec if not better than the BMW but i have always had a soft spot for them. long and short the 330 won. Came across this, was more than what i wanted to spend but hey always seems the way.

its a 51 plate, genuine 330 M-Sport,
93k Full BMW history
Auto wipers
Auto lights
Parking sensors
Factory sunroof
Harmon Kardon upgrade
19" CSL wheels
AC Schnitzer Mirrors
AC Schnitzer Matts
Xeon lights
Facelift Rear Clusters
Factory Fit Euro rear spoiler

Sure there are some bits i have missed. Only a few slight car park dents but overall very very good condition. Extremely happy with it so far. A very different drive to the Subaru and a less power but it ticks all the boxes i was looking for.

Any how here it is.....



thanks for all the help and advice from those who helped

cheers

was more than the 3k budget mate, the ones i saw around that price were dogs and not as good as the ad stated so up the budget, going to make things tight for a while so looks like a few quiet weekends but think it is worth it
