Nice advice, so far I do look after her, bar the
m stickers which according to some have damaged the car beyond belief
And she's been good.
According to the specs
mine is 228@ 200lb's and 2 series is 242BHP@ 258ft/lbs
so a little bit more, not much for sure.
But a few more facilities, some design changes and a newer car. (I'd be going for the vert BTW)
I should have a look at the post's not actively looked.
The reason for the 2 vert as my next car is boot space, when compared with a 3 series vert and price.
and agree with your last statement

If you're concerned now about reliability and cost of maintenance, I'd say you're better off sticking with the 1er until it starts costing you real money and leaving you stranded places. Or else you'll find yourself in that never-ending cycle of trading in your 3 year old BMW because the thought of an out of warranty, late model, turbo German car scares you.
