very very nice cars to drive, except im not personally a fan of auto boxes, but bmw ones are one of the best ive read.
2k isnt too bad on insurance, i pay 700 on a 2001 plate 320 @ 22 years old

why bother paying 2k insurance, just get a lower model for now...and manual!
wat age car you looking at? My mum had an 02 330ci Sport, manual though. Was a fairly nice car, good drive although suspension was a little hard and the conv. roof was a little loud when up, especially compared to her new car.

I dont know if I can, but I'm hoping work will offer me a company car. If they do, I'll take the money instead and buy that!
Would be cool having a 330 at 20

bmw auto's are so much smoother than the manuals.manual always seem to have clunky box's

My dads got a 645 Auto and its not so smooth, the manual isnt the best but whats the point having an auto unless your doing a hell of alot of stop/start driving, manual is soooo much better!

robbed three banks 
My dad set up a financial services company back in 1996 and by 2001 it was the largest IFA in the country and he was bought out by a large German Bank (AWD Plc), he was kept on to run the whole company but has just quit to take a few years off (as is 50 this year).
He has an M6 on order, and we went to look at a few cars the other day (GT3 and DB9) as he wants a toy!

Yeah he has driven their demo a few times and said the difference between that and the 645 is huge, and that is fucking fast as it is!!
