steve (m1bjr) reckons the 3 series coupe 2 door is fine for baby in the back. but wtf does he know? saloon 4 door is probably easier though few of them about so less choice. suppose I could lend you mine to try it out, fair swap after the HTC desire.

V8 torque will induce puke so keep a big box of kleenex to hand.

A bit late though now

Volvo.. Bog off eagle!

Lexus is a great spot. I'm off work soon so will start my shopping feb/march. Little dude arrives march.

Rog, just stick it in the post . You like yours then?

I think i'd live with coupe as we have a Golf which is 5dr and like you say thecsaloon is rare and not as pretty. I just cant let the S go after 9 yrs of trouble free fun but with my record on bikes i think those days might be behind me now.

The S5 has terrible steering i've heard? The s4 being the better drivers car.. Hmm

I think the nissan isnt suitable to sit on my drive and is probably too big for my garage

I'd be interested in the Lexus if I could find one that wasn't hopelessly overpriced

Good luck with finding one

Have a look at a 335i touring - very competent and versatile car

Quickly came to the same opinion Gad. I need to drive the 3 candidates anyway. There's no rush. Apparently the RS4 is the one to try rather than the S4, similar numbers to the M.

The 335 seems relatively rare too but will look at those if i can find a good one.. From march/feb i'll be working pt so will need a project

Try DB9 then V12 5 litre but the back seat can't actually put anything over 3 years old there or anything bigger than a Pug...
