I've been looking at a silver one, 2000 plate with 18'' msport wheels, Bloody lovely. My only concern is i'm only 20 yrs and although the insurance is slightly cheaper than the starlet, The slow bmw will cost twice as much on tyres,fuel,tax,repairs than my quick starlet! I have a Full wheel refurb on credit at a garage, i think i'll get the starlet wheels done and see if that gives me a change of heart. Although me owning the bmw will look sick, i'm a sly bit addicted to boost! ;o hence the dilemma! Cost/speed/class/comfort grrrr Thanks for all your inputs, if anyone else has anything to say i'd REALLY appreciate it
