Hi

I am looking at 2 Beemers,

One is a 118d manual SE with quite a lot of extras including Start/Stop, Pro Sat Nav, heated seats etc, but missing a few things I really want, most importantly Blue Tooth preparation for pairing a mobile phone to it

Other is a 120d M-Sport Auto, again with lots of extras, mainly the same as the above plus Bluetooth prep, and a few other things too (like memory seats), the Bluetooth prep is important to me, but so is fuel economy and it doesn;t have the start/stop

All the reviews says the 118d is the one to go for, but this is a private purchase, not company purchase, so Road Tax is issue not company car tax.

How do they compare with respect to Insurance Group, Road Tax for private user?

Real world fuel economy register shows very little difference between them.

Other issue is the sports suspension versus the standard suspension, but only I can answer that one myself based upon personal preference.

Thoughts?
