Just hope you haven't picked up from a Tesco DC, as the chances are there will be stuff all over the place
March this year, bring it on 🙂
I guess you mean march next year, March this year has been and gone 😉
What are you driving at the moment?

Had been looking for one for about 2 years, but I specifically wanted the exact spec I already had on my 320d, just with the bigger power plant…and every one I saw was sold or reserved by the time I called the BMW dealership. I was lucky with this one as I’d called up about another (slightly lower spec) to be told it was sold…but another had literally just come in as a part-ex and I got first refusal
So ended up with almost exactly the same spec (just missing the top nav option) but in a 335xD, and have doubled up on driven wheels, turbos and power - and it got almost identical fuel economy on the 250 return trip as the other did on the trip over - so a win-win situation 😁
Stats are 309bhp with 465lbft (or 230kw and 603Nm for us intellectuals).

Agreed. I had the older E60 535D and the engine was really very special. I've never been a particularly big BMW fan but that engine totally swung me. I knew it would be a good drive and stay quite tight in the running gear for years, but I wasn't expecting just how good that engine would be.
It was the older one so I would only see around 40-45 MPG but it was remapped, putting out 350hp and 500Lbs of torque, it made the world move backwards when the loud pedal was pressed.
I was looking for another as soon as I was ready to sell but unfortunately pricing put me out of it.
Back in a BMW again as per previous pics, but this time it's leccy. The delivery is another level again but the range not so much

March this year has arrived, and almost passed.
I am now a gentleman of leasure
Or officially an old b.., as I'm an OAP
My truck had over 610,000 km when I handed back its keys btw
I finished work on Friday, my HGV licence ran out on Monday and, as is normal for vocational licences, my birthday was the next day.

And i bet the fuel consumption was nice as well
Over the past 10 years I have grown quite attached to my Qashqai Techna. It is comfortable to drive and with my low mileage should last for some time to come. From 2019, I had considered a change but government indecisions and having a zero car tax continued to make me undecided. Then my daughter pranged her car and started using mine. This led to me idly looking round a car showroom in march and I found that the demonstrator cars were being sold off in preparation for newer designs in the new financial year (05 plate). I am not one for the latest and greatest but tend to buy something about a year old and run it to extinction. It needs to be an SUV so I do not break my back getting in and out.
So, I finally settled on an MG ZS EV Trophy Connect. As a 74 plate it was less than 6 months old with a mileage of 750. The new price would normally have been £33,000 but as a demonstrator was reduced to £20,500. An added bonus was that registering in March gave me a year at zero tax.
I have to say that, so far, I have enjoyed going electric.
