Bought this last month.







Yes, its a 116i, yes it is completely and utterly gutless. But insurance isn't on my side and wanted half decent fuel economy with out buying a diesel.

Totally in love with it, drives a lot better than my Focus, not as chuckable but extremely planted around the bends and makes a respectable noise for a four pot. Just wish it had more grunt!

A 20 year old apprentice that can afford a (quite big, by the looks of things) house and a BMW?

Congratulations. The 116i looks nice, but get shot of the badges.

Nice, I quite fancy one of these, but there's no way in hell I'd ever find one for the £3.5k I have for a car... Congratulations
