    Morning all, hope you are all keeping safe and well.... forum seems a bit quiet at the moment think this may be something to do with me changing it to "https" as lots of things seemed to go odd after that date...

    Well after 20 odd years Seat and Skoda owner I have moved over to the dark side.....

    Went to the dealers on Friday afternoon and traded both my cars in and purchased this.... BMW 3 Series 320d xDrive M Sport Touring 2.0 5dr

    I must admit I will be sad to see the Superb go, I have had it from new, it is 7 years old with 39000 miles on the clock and full dealer history, and a fantastic car.... the Rapid was my workhorse, done almost 90000 miles now but as I have changed jobs and only do about 35 miles a day in the Rapid and the Superb does about 40 miles a week... I also needed to be practical, the values are only going to go down, and working in York if they bring in the low emission zone then Euro 5 diesels will cost a fortune to go to work... sad to see it go though...

    I did intend getting another Superb, nearly new, maybe up to 12 months old and low mileage but the Skoda dealers that I tried, 2 or 3 there deals were rubbish compared to BMW... BMW offered me £1200 more ... even better than We buy any car offered for both...

    Went for a test drive, just me ad my Mom, no salesman, and drove about 30mins and I must say it is a really, really nice drive, the car is quiet, smooth and the automatic gearbox was amazing, and it went like a rocket! and I though the DSG in the Superb was smooth... only slight issue, being an M-Sport the suspension was hard on rough roads which my Mom hated... hated with a passion.. and being a £45000 car new it is £490 road tax for 5 years, but I save on tax, insurance, service and MOT costs on one car so should still be quids in.....

    I collect it on the 21st, my choice as I have two cars almost full of fuel lol.....
