This forum is definitely dangerous! ... I love it !

It was following the posts on here last year that my interest changed from a 318d to a 330d ..

Its now only after less than a year now got me looking at options to go for a 335d M Sport LCI or a 430d Gran Coupe.

I never thought Id be in a 330d M Sport when I collected in March I was over the moon never thought I would then be seriously considering an upgrade

Like I said its Lethal!

We love spending your money........

[JustChris]

We think the word you are looking for is 'inspirational' ?

Good luck in the spec'ing and search for the next beast!!

At least you haven't spent as much as Chester!

Yes but we LOVE spending Chester's money........

[JustChris]

Well you can't take it with you...

[Alkidrew]

I agree. Was going to invest my April bonus in an isa. Now want to 'invest' it in an LCI 335x. This forum will literally make me work longer than I want to.

[pmheadwired]

So true chaps!

I wish I had as much as Chester to spend! ... If it did I would happily have an online collaboration to spec my M4

Lol.

Know the feeling. Went from a 330d to a 335xd.

Didn't take much persuading though.

Can I enquire as to how much the change cost and did you lose out much coming out the 330d?

While we do love spending or rather tailoring how others spend their money.

One of the great things is how factually we argue the case of the next engine up, or that extra option.

There is a hell of a lot of good advice floating around, I know I took advantage of some good points when I went through my discovery journey.

Despite the best efforts of Stavros, this forum inspired me to chop in my 328i for a 335d. And I'm loving it. Though a new brake pedal ordered today after just 2.5k miles. Something broke!

[Les59]

While I totally agree that this forum is great at spending other people's money, it also saves £££££

I'd have walked away from ordering my new F31 thinking 10% discount was a great deal, instead after reading the negotiating threads I got 20+% .....

But to be honest, the "saving" meant that I just added more toys ( as recommended here! ).

Why not go all out and get a golf R

For me nothing, just into a new PCP with a lower monthly payment as discounts are so much higher now.

[Zippeh]

Same here! I got my 320d last feb. Visited local dealer yesterday to start pricing up a 330d!

A guy I work with, had his XF in for servicing or something and while waiting was chatting to sales guy.

Anyhow, he left having agreed to a swap for his current car to a new one with very minimal change in payments.

It's something I want to do as well.

Having to sort wife and daughter a car, I will be hung and totally in dog house if I used their deposits for my new car.........

I am in the same situation Brigand. The wife currently has a Kia Rio she has outgrown it with the stuff we need to cart around for kids so I am looking at getting her a Ford Kuga or Kia Sportage type thing cheaper the better.

I am then looking to get a 335d LCI or a 430 GC.

Check out the BMW deals on their X cars as well.

Prefer the Kuga to Kia.

Mine are something sporty for wife and seat ibiza FR black for daughter.

For me it's that 335i, Mustang, or stay as I am dilemma.

Oh and new porsche garage (boutique) opening March or so this year about a mile from me.

The X cars are too expensive in comparison, I am just looking for something bigger and fairly easy to run for the wife as she doesn't exactly respect the car and the kids have it a tip in no time

Porsche Cayman S ?

I'm not looking forward to changing my car this summer........
