Hello and Welcome :thumbsup:

Been through an E46 325i Conv Auto (underpowered in that config) to an E46 330Cd Conv - a quick car!- (the Wifes's which we've still got and looks to become my 'project car' as she now has a Mini Countryman) an E53 3.0d Sport which I loved and now to an E71 (X6) 40d which I absolutely love - even though they aren't to everyone's tastes.

I think you'll find a lot of what you'll need to help you make your mind up on here, but if not never be afraid to ask :)
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Welcome to banter central, a great forum IMO.

Good luck with the search and just ask away, no question is a stupid question. No, scratch that, there are many stupid questions on here......

Anyway, welcome
