But Honda put a beautiful 7 speed cvt auto with steering wheel fingertip manual control buttons that can be used in auto or manual modes in the Jazz 5 years ago. I know because I had a Jazz for 4 years.

Finance has all been agreed now so its all a definate.

Whats pissed me off is i have to lose a years no claims bonus as my current insurer will not insure me on my new car so i have to cancel this policy.

Why ? I cannot understand that point, I've had the same problem here with my Civic My former Insurance Company doubled the cost of the insurance because "he did not have any statistic about the car and because Japanese car are more expensive !!!"

Did you order a "fancy" car ?

Good luck for your next one...

Of all the VAG vehicles available, I know I would buy a DSG Audi TT, if I had the money. Of course if you need boot space and rear seats you might see things differently.

Reckon its a Merc, BMW or Audi. Wouldnt PX a Civic for a VW surely?!

Or is it an American car...

I'll second that

Alright ill let you all know. I have bought a 2004 BMW 730D SE. I have always loved the 7 series(I know its not to everyones taste but then neither is the Civic). The spec inside is just awesome and to drive is something else.

I found one at my local bmw dealer which has had loads of extras already fitted. Also its only costing me £40 more a month on finance than the civic.

My only fear is fitting it in where I have to park. Its a massive car. But its everything I want in a car which is the most important thing.

I believe he was referring to the colour - he is a red man, as opposed to an Orient Blue one...

Nice comment about the wiper...I hope you're reading this Charles!

check to see if the auto fluid has been changed. I have researched 330's in the past, the auto fluid is allegedly sealed in the transmission for life, but it is known to cause transmission failure at 100-120+k, expensive to repair.

Also check the inlet manifold, the 3.0's have a tendancy to lose butterfly valves - end of story for the turbo and possibly engine, according to BMW forums etc.

have a look at Honest John, some useful tips on there, nice car though...!

Nice car but I would rather have my fuel bills than your ones, good luck with it and keep us updated

the Bmw averages around 33mpg which considering its alot bigger and heavier car and also 218bhp is not to bad. Ive been averaging around 39-40 in the civic so its not a huge drop.

Its got a 88 litre fuel tank.

Ive got it through my local bmw dealer and its a approved used car which basically covers me for 1yr.

Nice car,

I'm used to drive my father 530D, the motor is very nice, but I'm not found of the BMW style (except the Z4) from Mr Chris Bangle.
But you're right there is all you want in a car in these cars !
The size is too big for me, but it's a personal matter again

So congratulation, and you're right if for 40£ more you have the engine and the size you want go for it !
