I was informed by a local BMW specialist that the auto boxes are very reliable so not so sure about that part Daz.............................
I have bought a 2008 e91 320d MSport Touring a few weeks ago. So far im over the moon with it but ill keep you posted if there are any disasters.
68mpg on the way to Southport National and about 43mpg around town currently. On std mapping does 145mph and under 8 secs to 60. Its no rocket ship but its as fast as you need. If i could of found a similar specced/priced 6 cylinder model then id of probably gone for that in truth.

Daz was talking about e46 (335d was never available in e46, new for e90series and current 5). Unfortunately I have to agree with him (for once) as we both worked for a BMW dealer.
