  Thinking of going petrol hybrid or possibly fully electric to replace a Fiat 500 that we only ever use for short runs and commuting about 30 miles a day. The form to post here requires I put in a make/model which I have said is BMW i3, but not wedded to that, if anything an Audi A1 would be preferable.

  Have just bought a mint 94 E34 BMW 520iSE with a year's MOT. Alas the mileometer and odometer do not show though I can get a reading with a torch shining.

  I am considering buying a 320i SE Saloon from my local BMW dealer. Its a 55 plate registered in November 2005 and has done only 7500 miles.

  Mush as i hate them, my wallet is taking a right bashing. I am wondering which is the best Diesel powered BMW 1 series to look at given the different trim levels and engines used. Is the 118d better than the 120d or vice-versa? If anybody has experience of these motors i'd be happy to read your views. Thanks, Mark
