With the recent purchase of a Caterham, I'm struggling to justify keeping the S and whilst I've got access to my brother's Discovery and a trailer I probably need to get a tow car of my own for when he starts using his rally car.

I don't really want to spend much more than the current value of my S, so around the

 

Er...

330d Sport Touring?

 

That's the sort of thing, for 13k though?

 

I paid 10K for this

so I would have thought a 330 for that money would be do-able. If your not doing a lot of miles a big petrol engine might be a better buy as the diesels seem to hold value and also all the ones I looked at had done megga miles!!!!

If it'll fit in the garage
250 BHP (old model), 300 BHP new model) will surprise most BMW drivers and will go round the roundabout faster than them as well.

What's the Volvo like on servicing etc? I want to stay away from exotic (can you use that word when talking about volvos? ) top of the range things so am looking at 330s rather than M3s IYSWIM.

If I'm not too hungover tomorrow I'll pop into my local beemer dealer tomorrow and have a look.

Keep 'em coming.....

 

Feck it, stick a tow bar on the back of the S!



And I might have convinced my mate Chris to hire a caterham and come along to donington
