From what I've read the 3.0d (and 3.5d) get metalic paint and auto as standard (but not much more). So unless I'm misreading prices, I'll have to pay a £4k uplift (over a metalic & auto 2.0d) to go from a 2.0d to 3.0d, can anyone confirm if the extra power is worth it. Will the 3.0d hold it's value as much as 2.0d, or will I lose the extra £4k over the 2 or 3 years I keep the car?
I am moving from the 535d and its a great engine, loads of torque.
Had to take the 35d out for a test drive and that did it. More power, faster acceleration (if thats your thing) that would put many sports cars to shame and good fuel economy, reasonable car tax rate etc etc.
Of course its up to you if you think its worth it.....all cars will lose money.
Cheers
