Hi Guys. I am from South Africa. I just bought a 2006 320D E90 M Sport and its my first BMW and I am really impressed with it. Never thought a diesel would run like that. Fuel consumption is unbelievable. I am getting 5.6l/100km. The ride is a little stiff and bumpy because of the 18", run flats and lowered suspension that comes with the sport pack, but very impressive.

Carsales, Ebay or some of the other uaction houses like Pickles. I got my 2000 E38 (740iL) through a combination of Car Sales and Pickles prestiege auctions.
