BMW 1 series seem to be very popular with estate agents, photo copier salesmen and other generally avoided professional people. As good as the 135i is, I don't think it'll ever shake that image
Golfs on the other hand, seem to be very popular with horsey type girls, and we all know how dirty they can be :)
Golf R are now very popular with us agents too Graeme.
whoops, are you an estate agent Paul ?

I wish I didn't grow attached to cars. It makes it very hard to let them go when it makes the most economical sense. I'm hoping a 2/3yr contract deal will help me harden up instead of blowing money on "modding it like I hate it".

Yeah, I said I'd send it back to Aus a year after I bought it. Then I said I'd sell it last year by March. Now, I'm not sure if I can bring myself to sell it.
I'm such a softy.

When I look back, I think the only car I regret selling was Elmo (my red V10 R8 coupe) and my little Imola A2 TDI which I should have stored forever as it was mental spec. All the others were just pieces of metal .... Darth is defo up their in my favourites, but he served his time and needed a new home which I glad he is still at!

Go to the website and punch in your requirements. I think yesterday I saw it was 269 or 275pcm as the best deals. No biz contracts, personal.
