Hey JB, you did the diesel video for good cars with good mpg. Can you do one for fun/nice petrol cars that still return reasonable ish mpg? Hopefully under £5k. Good challenge for you 👍
Out of all those cars if you add 3k to 4k you can find a Cayman s (boxter with a roof) with very low milage. Probably because it didn't catch on very well in our market when initially released. (Obviously outside of budget but worth having a look).
I owned one for 3 years and loved it. No problems mechanically, and it was certainly quick enough. Only issue I had was that certain light finered people wanted it too. It got stolen once and recovered, and they tried to have it away a further 3 times!
@@detailingshorts885 I believe the video lists the 0-60 time as 5.3 and 300BHP. BMW is known to undervalue the car’s power and I believe it’s certainly the case for that generation of 335i.

Always felt like I should have owned a Megane RS at some point. Never quite made it to the top of my list before I got into RWD and 6+ cylinders. Not sure I could go back now.
All cars I would love to own, but I hate cars that need maintenance I can't do myself. One of my cars is a 2006 NC Miata I bought in 2011. If you are talking cheap to run: this is it. Only things I exchanged were the front brakes. Further: no issue at all, nothing. Depreciation about €500 a year... till now.
Yes all of these are cheap cars but have you considered the insurance? Itll be sky high because of how sporty alot of these are and engine size and that. So really you should be going for something that's less sporty but still fun to drive, a car known by less people so it will be cheap and the insurance will be aswell
Don't give up on a car because of the insurance group, you never know what criteria they are judged by could work to your advantage and be affordable for you but not for another person your age! Always check.
Should I keep the cash and save it (by getting the 330i) or spend it and get the 09? That 06 is in truly new shape (its a local guy not in a hurry to sell). Obvious worries are the turbo/fuel pump issues after the CPO warranty runs out. But I would lose out on the turbo fun. Is it worth it?
the 330i is a fine dependable car. it won't have HPFP or turbo issues down the road. they are very similar looking and most people aren't going to know the difference. you are buying a car that to most people, looks current. people shit when i explain my car has 140,000 miles and is 6 years old. the difference is obviously in the power, if you think you will use it, then by all means go the 335 route. that's something that depends on you and what your priorities are. take the 330 for a spin though, it's not a turbo but it is still an impressive car.
