330i's economy is in your right foot... Drive it like its stolen and it will indicate automatically the moment it sees a garage for fuel. The engines on those babies are STRONG. Manual is the better option for long run.

330d's economy is great, in comparrison with the 330i if you drive it like it's stolen. I loved mine, didnt baby it and I sold her with 207000km on the clock without a days hastles. Service them when due, and let her idle for minute or two after being driven hard to look after the turbo.

Mine was a auto and 100% when sold, my father-in-law sold his with 198000km on and was also 100%. :thumbsup:

I agree 330i's are awesome just be careful of 330i's for less than a R100k, have any car properly checked out.

Use my 330 for a day or two, I promise u your mind will be made up!!!
And please don't waste ur time on a 318 or 320.
Go "big" (330), you'll never regret it!

if you cant go over 100k then you could also get a 323i or 325i but if you can stretch it you wont look back when you get a 330i...

Dude i got a 330d and I'll never go lower. The diesel is more fun and has a shit loads more torque, more then an M3 even! Do your self a favor and buy a 330d and get this grin that I've been having for a while!
