10-12k petrol coupe
Discussion
Hello!
Looking to replace my leased car and ideally I now want to buy something and keep it for around 5 years.
My heart is set on an e92 335i or 330i, LCI onwards, but I'm open to suggestions. My criteria is petrol, auto and quick (ish) with a 10-12k budget. I could go higher if something really takes my fancy but I don't want to go too crazy.
Any recommendations please?

There are some nice options out there but if you want the 335i then get one, but here are some alternatives:

I have had an E92 N53 330i SE Auto since January this year.
I initially loved it - quiet, lovely ride, quick, comfy, toys and considering the engine, pretty good mpg (35mpg commute and 44mpg on a motorway cruise at 70ish)
Then I started falling out of love with it. It was a bit too accomplished. It was undoubtedly quick but there was no drama. Engine seemed muted. There was little 'buzz' to driving it on my twisty A road commute (my main driving mileage)
However, after six months and 4000 miles I have grown to appreciate it again. I toyed with a 'louder' exhaust, but it would spoil the character. Getting used to it after a MINI Clubman S has been the issue I think..... I haven't had an auto for some time and I think this has taken sometime to get used to too.
So..I would recommend it!
