    '06 330d Touring. Good fun when it hasn't got a boat in tow or bikes on the roof or whatever, and very comfortable when it has. Only thing I'd swap it for is a 335d

      (UK) '99 1.4 Polo CL Auto. Drive it around for a week, get back in the MC and it's like hitting warp factor 9

      (Austria) '09 Fiesta with an engine, apparently.

      Would love a 330d touring as a 2nd car
      Current: 2005 330i Sport
      Sold but never forgotten: 2000 Estoril S50

        Binned .. I was thrown by the 'would' part also.
        No second car for me...I have my bike instead.

        I'd still like one tho!

            There's always one! I do love them though. Only Ferrari I think I would own other than the Testarossa.

            Anyway, thanks guys - interesting reading. I too would love a 3 series touring - or even a 5. I think they're one of the few cars that look better as an estate. Or maybe I'm just gettin' old!

              Audi A3 Quattro. Small enough for the other half to still drive, but big enough to tow my Caterham (my other second car!!!).

              And of course, neither of those reasons was why I originally bought it! I've had it much 5 years (of its 8 year life) and it's got just under 40k miles. And it does a job, although I now get a sore back when I sit in it for hours on end, so maybe it'll go at the end of this year ...

                I think the current 3 coupe looks good too, but I really don't like the saloon.

                      LOL!! Wasn't expecting that! I for one am naturally cautious of any car that's taller than it is long.........

                      Also, I seem to recall from a hire-car experience, stopping with the air-con on full blast leads to immediate cutting out of the engine! All that power in such a small car

                      All I can say is best of luck with the planned upgrade! Couldn't you just get a rubber ring for the MC like a bumper car??

                          nice in the bright green but looks not right in the black

                          second cars a defender 90 td5--- big intercooler , big turbo 220 bhp
                          its the second one ive had the first lasted 170,000 miles until i gave it to my daughter and its still going strong , great for carrying kit , shooting , off roading and the dog, you can jump in and drive it without thinking wouldnt be without one big thing for me is i can park it any where and not worry about parking dings (my big panick in the coupe)

                          pinch the missus cooper s hartge as well

                          oh and the bikes


                          real fancy for an rs6 but couldnt justify it at the moment i might try and persuade the missus to chop her car in for one

                            Don't we all! That's another that looks best as an estate IMO.

                            LOL - that slipped by me... Very naughty! How you can choose a 'second car' out of that little lot though I don't know!!
