    Id say I'll go with the 320d Coupe or saloon.
    I've found a few.
    Sorry I should have done £8-£9 k not euro
    M3's I would have to go to 12

    True, But it looks sh*te on the outside and has a terrible drop which detracts from the lines and looks of the car.


    But whatever your having yourself.
    As you say, the looks are a personal thing. Looks aside, though, I think an SE with sports seats and 16" RFTs is the easiest specification to live with day to day.

    Are you confusing an M3 with M-sport spec?

    Not a hope of getting a tidy E92 320d for €9k. Late E46 320cd are still fetching more than that and they finished production in 2006. You will pay even more for a M Sport model.

    You might squeeze into a 2006 E90 320d M Sport for €9k but it will probably have +100k miles on it.

    Naturally, one is a essentially a supercar & the other is a plain as day diesel. Sorry to nit pick im just incredibly confused why its even being mentioned in the same context. Ill get my coat.

    Great !
    Now I've got to contemplate going accross the border to get one.
    Looking at the coupe's. 8-9k including VRT realistic for a decent one ?
    Difficult to get a decent M3 for this budget I reckon.

    Probably sell private the octavia. Hopefully get 5k ish

    To be honest, it sounds like you are confusing an M-Sport with an M3. They're not the same. An M3 you realise is a 4 litre V8 with very little in common with a 320d, and for the same year will cost you around €35,000, not €12k which might buy you a 2003 high mileage old shape 3.2 M3.
