So my wife's daily (And my weekender) is a very neat 2007 E90 320i MSport
Pros
Good looks
Comfortable
Good handling
Good fuel consumption
Service and maintenance wasn't too bad
Everything works and the car feels tight and responsive
Cons
Its getting close to 160 000km
Its going to be 7 years old soon
So I would like to replace it. My plan was to replace it with a diesel fortuner. We test drove one and she complained that it felt like a van and was no where near as comfortable as her 320i
So what are my options here?
I need something less than 5 years old less than 100 000km and all for less than R200 000
It needs to be good looking, comfortable, reliable, cheap to maintain and have a decent fuel economy?
She has got it in her head that once you go BMW you cant go back. Me I don't have a preference for a particular brand. I go for the Value for money options.
So 5 series, X3?
