Amaranthus Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 What do you want out of it? Performance, economy or appearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xt500 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi all, Im thinking of getting a new car; I was thinking either a BMW 3 series or Mercedes-Benz E Class. Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated as I know nothing about cars!!! Many thanks The E90 is a very dissapointing car in many respects compounded by the use of runflats which make the ride not only hard but very unpredictable in corners and they let go without notice.You can get rid of the run flats but also need to change the shockers to match the spongy ride to compensate for the tyres. if your going to go for the e90 got for the sport spec but get a teeth brace. i have owned every 3 series bmw they ever made and none have been so dissapointing,so much so i doubt i will ever get another. If you are going to get one make it the 330d and expect and easy 45 mpg,the 320d another 5-10mpg.Autos drop 10mpg. i suggest you read on the BMW forums before making this choice,its an eye opener. no knowledge on the mercs,im not old enough for one of them yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
