New Driver , 17 in the UK , what BMW should I get
Hello there,
I am new to this forum, and I'm 17 right now and looking to buy a BMW. What would you guys recommend, my budget is around £15k or so (all in all). Thanks very much and have a nice day! P.s I have driven the f30 3 series and it was amazing |

How much of your budget is for the insurance?
Given your age and where you live any BMW with serious performance will be mighty expensive to insure. Therefore, look at a diesel, or you might find an i3 for £15k, no ved and no London emissions charges. They are quick - 170bhp but max torque from 0mph and no turbo lag or gearchanges but you need to be able to charge at home on the off peak, which costs pence. |

Get 1 series 125d, very economical and very nice car to drive. Later when you get bored of the 224stock HP, you can map it to 260+ (some even go to 280+) and have fun with it. This is cheap to drive car, very good on fuel and has extremely good performance. As young person you will enjoy it a lot, but have to be careful because when pushed it goes
