Where did you hear this,mate? I was thinking of one for the Mrs,never heard any bad reports before. Please pass me the links to the bad press and I can either barter or look elsewhere. Thanks for the heads up :thumb:
Remember even the 'badge' cars can and do have engine issues.. |

how many miles is on the legacy? over 100k? i do 35k miles a year in my Polo tdi, it has done me well, just use the scoob evenings and weekends
Went to the legacy from a wrx wagon and don't miss the impreza. The legacy is better for my business use and is also great for towing ( thats a trailer not a caravan :D ) |

Sorry to thread hijack but Im toying with a 330D as well - 335d is just pushing the budget too far and losing the mpg benefits of the diesel over petrol. I am still contemplating a hatch STi but the £450 road tax and running costs puts me off not to mention the engine failures. My head (rather than heart/nostalgia for the scoob) is telling me to invest in a diesel and the newer 245bhp models are no slouch especially with a remap (after warranty runs out for me). It would have to be the E92 as I love the coupe's sleek looks even though not so practical. Looking on autotrader your looking at low £20k's for a 2-2.5yr old with low mileage.
Does anyone with an E92 use a bike rack as currently I just throw my mtb in the back of my civic? Admittedly part of that is its a lease car so never been inclined to shell out for a bike rack on a car Im giving back. Cheers Simon |
Manuals tend to break clutches/gearbox's more due to the monster torque so just be aware, the auto having a torque converter is more reliable when chipped according to most BM forums, plus the 330d auto has the same unit as the 335d so no issues with power/torque increase!
Also bear in mind that the 245bhp 330d remaps increase is 10bhp less than the 231bhp, so both when mapped are almost identical! (something like 35bhp for the 245 and 45bhp for the 231). Good choice to go E92, much nicer lookers than the saloon, though I think the Touring looks nice too. Not used a bike rack with mine though I reckon I'd easily get it in the boot with the front wheel off and the rear seats lowered........ |
Can you not get a 530 or 535d for less that £15k. The M-Sports are nice.

Love our 3 series diesel with a passion even though they are perhaps the most common car on the road!!
Would have loved an Octavia vRS diesel.local plod has one.Very very very nice.Nice not to be part of the crowd too |

I know I'm a bit new to the BMW thing but Msport just seems to get you badge on steering wheel,nice seats and harder suspension with no performance gains whatsoever

M Sports do come with quite a few differences. Seats, Body Kit, Steering wheel, Scuff plates, Reversing sensors, Wheels, Suspension etc etc. Power is the same as an SE. Looks wise the M Sport is much nicer and tighter to drive. :thumb:
I was just a bit disappointed that 'M Sport' didn't mean a few more bhp:D |
