Hi Guys
it wont be long be the callis made for the return of the BMW. After 3 years of ownership and nearly 60k it wil be time to send it back
If I am honest its been the best car i have owned and has been a fantatsic little car - Decptively fast, cracking MPG and great to drive
We have just returned froma 1,000 mile trip up to Inverness via Aviemore, Loch Ness, Fall of Shin, across to Ullapool, Fort William, Ben Nevis, and also around Loch Lomond and back through Glasgow
Some very special roads made some very entertaining drivings
Pics:
Windfarm
Aviemore
Highlands
Ben Nevis Range
Have loads more pics

What you going for instead then?
Looks like you had some fun roads to play with! Loch Lomand is quite special.

Great pics, love those 1 series these days too - used to hate them!
Out of your shortlist for it's replacement I'd probably choose the 123D or Audi A3

Im going to replace my 120d Msport with a 3 series business edition in white too. Probably go for a 318d and have the roof carbon vinyl wrapped and sun protection glass.

if you get the right spec then its dream car
Would have another straight away although i fancy a change
Mine is chipped so running around 215BHP and its drives so well, great driving, pretty quick, lovely interior and great MPG

What do you get on a business edition that you dont get on a normal M Sport?
I keep seeing a 59 plate 320d M Sport in white with black kidney grills, black/carbon boot lip spoiler and some big optional BMW wheels on it round here. It looks awesome. Yummy mummy driving it too

I would go for the 318D, I like the facelift 3 series. Would that tuning box fit it that you have on the 1 series at the moment?

Rear leg room is smaller than say a focus and A3
The boot is quite big but not as deep as some rivals as its rear wheel drive
