Morning all!

[chrisbin]

Been directed here by one of your exiled BMW members!

Seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Hopefully the car will be too!

I'm currently driving a 2010 Alpina D3 Biturbo.

I'm looking for something with some more space and practicality, while not wanting to go too big. Top of the list is a C250CDi Auto Sport Estate. Just looking at the financials at the moment to see if I can find a deal that works!

Welcome! After getting rid of your BMW, performing a few cleansing rituals to remove every trace of BMW ownership and buying that C250CDi you'll never look back

Thanks!

Since this is the 5th different flavour of e90 Beemer I've had, it might take a bit longer......

Thanks guys

Looking like a new AMG Sport Plus is going to be the best deal....I can't work out how they sell any used cars these days, when everytime I've planned to buy one the dealer always has a better deal on new!!!

Just seen your pictures.

If yours was an estate I suspect you would not be swapping it, looks very nice and rarer than a C class sport.

What sort of figures is a D3? BHP etc?

 

[chrisbin]

All this love isn't helping my "conversion"......

The D3 BT has 214bhp and 450Nm torque.

You are right, if it was a Touring, and auto, then it would definitely be staying....

Not a newbie, but a "returnee"!!
After a fairly long absence involving an A6 and a Boxster, I'm back!
Change of circumstance (new puppy!) meant the Boxster had to go. Wanted something with more space and practicality but also different/exclusive and not too large. Performance was also a requirement! Considered F31 Bmw but a little bigger than I need. Alpina version nice (Ive had an Alpina before) but just too pricey, and 340i just too common. So realised that the ideal answer was a CLA45 S/B. After a reasonably quick search I found 2 '16 facelift cars in budget at main dealers, and the Bristol one is now mine! Had it nearly 2 weeks and loving it! Answers all my requirements and very pleased with it.
