New family wagon - BMW F31 328

[Andy.]

After 12 years and 140,000 miles in my Megane, it's time to say goodbye and swap for a larger family bus.

The Megane has been pretty good over the years, the only issues I've had were with the window electrics (a cheap ebay fix once a year or so) and a replacement clutch. Aside from that it's just been the usual service costs.

I was hunting for a while for the replacement. It needed to be an estate, so I was looking at the Audi A4, Volvo V60, VW Passat and the BMW F31. The BMW won me over in the end, even if it missing two cylinders. It's loads more comfortable than the Megane and has pretty effortless pace.

Spec;
328 - 2 litre turbo 4; 245 bhp/ 258lb ft. 0-100 in 6 seconds.
Estoril Blue
Black leather sports interior
M sport package
19" M line alloys
Automatic with paddles
Rear view camera
Decent spec stereo with subs under the seats and Bluetooth

Great choice, I’ve got an F31 and think it’s really good, similar spec to yours. The 19’s really finish it off nicely

I do like the F31, keep looking at 335d touring’s.
Quite like them on 18’s cos they just look like a 318i

I’d of loved a 335 but the Dutch road tax on diesels is insane. They’d leave this for dust!

Steering wheel’s on the wrong side...I’m out.

Seriously though, looks lovely mate. I love Estoril Blue, good choice.
