    It'll be cheaper to pay the extra tax. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I was thinking this was about cars. Im looking at 1996-98 318i's at the moment, just because I have around £900 and they seem like they would be the strongest cars available at that price!

    Well built - safe - and, providing you drive them sensibly, will return well over 30 mpg. Bit high on insurance - but only because of the 'badge'.
    I have driven BMW for over twenty years - high running cost is a myth.
    You look after your car and your car will look after you.
