I should be in the market for a new car this summer

So many other cool options since you are in Europe 🙂 Mmm...

I would get something with a diesel in it.
 
I'm thinking perhaps a 12 month old E92 M3 with very low mileage. I could spend more but I have to stay sensible.

That?s one option, but there are plenty of others. I could get a brand new BMW 135i M Sport for 30k from the dealer.

I would get the used M3.

Dirt bike, dune buggy, Metro, etc... since you said nothing more then price i say pick one of these.

Since I said I?m looking for a car, those don?t apply.

Though I may look at getting a monster truck.

That would be uber popular in the UK I'm sure.

Get a BMW AUC 135i with all the toys. Don't get a new one as for £30k you'll be winding the windows yourself!

Good call. My next car will not be any older than 12 months.

The 1 series coupe is really growing on me.

But? ///M Power is such a necessity. 😀

We?ll see. Sell my current car (which I own without debt), use my savings and take out a small loan over a short term.

Hmm...

what's the difference between an AUC 135i and a regular 135i?

at least here in the states, the 135 is priced very close to the 335 and doesn't weigh much less. i'd go for the 335 for the extra space).

check out stuff from audi.. say an S4/S5 or TTS for the small coupe. mmmmmmmmmmm

AUC ? Approved Used Car. BMW dealers usually have a second showroom with AUC cars in it.

In all honesty, I?m not a huge Audi fan.

The problem with getting a 335i to me is I would feel a little cheated as I would really want the ///M version instead ? sad, I know, but that?s just me.

General question about this... does it not matter to you how it may have been used in the past? Reckless previous owner, test drive vehicle, problematic and returned, etc. Lots of reasons for such low miles and on the lot both good and bad but you still wonder.

If you're only keeping it for the CPO warranty period, that wouldn't matter, but what if you want it long term?
