Well I didn't end up going a i30N, nearly but really wanted more space than the Hatch/Coupe.
After much searching at around the $40k odd budget I stumbled across a very clean 1owner 2017 Bimmer 330i MSport wagon.
Only had 30thou k's - log books obviously.
First of the 3series with the 2.0l T motor. I had a 3 series years ago and loved that straight line 6 so my test drive originally I was a little sceptical at first and thankfully very impressed how damn good it goes.
Wright ups about this vehicle upon release and scribes test drives were very positive towards the engine change and overall package.
Having picked it up today I can see why.
What a brilliant mid size car it is, and loving the depreciation dump these euros always cop after 3yrs.
