Thinking of changing my ageing audi a4 estate.
Most of the time it's just me and the dog with my daughter the odd time, so really i don't need an estate but I've always found hatchbacks better for loading up than saloon for holidays etc.

I hadn't really considered teh 3 series compact but seeing one in the flesh with nice wheels in silver it looked pretty good.
It should go like stink with the 150bhp td engine and give 50mpg so happy days as the prices are respectable at about £3.5k for an 02 with 100k on the clock.
Any thouhgts, I assume most servicing can be done at home.

Great engine but the swirl vane are a potential failure point unless removed.
