Well after selling the car back in may ive really had a hard time finding something else.After all of a sudden deciding i really wanted a bmw i started looking for a 330d/335d m sport.I researched more into them and found they have their fair share of issues with dpfs swirl flaps,auto boxes breakin,turbos failing the main problems, but felt with a decent warrany id be ok and you mainly only hear bad storys on forums anyway...After searching for a month for one with black leather and i drive with silver interior trim i found a nice well priced 57 plate 330d m sport with 40k ish,so i did aa check and it all came back ok so i left a deposit.
While sat bored that afternoon in work i did some more digging on the car ringing bmw and getting details of garages it had visited in the past,and decided to ring them too....So glad i did as i found it was in the garage in 2008 for replacement damaged auto box oil sump and ungertray and cleaning of gearbox oil from everywhere,they couldnt shed any light as to what had happened but sounds like a slight prang or its ran over something big??....I then got onto the dealer and told him of my findings,he was unaware of it but did admit to replacing the auto box on it as he said it wasnt right when he got the car,i wasnt happy about it so decided to get my deposit back,lucky escape i think.....Still not found another bmw derv in budget and spec and have looked at 330i/mazda mps/ r32 and mercs bla de bla
i am now considering another cupra as i feel i should never have let mine go,but just got a bit bored and a severe bout of itchy car key syndrome....
So if any mk2 cupra owners are thinking of moving on,firstly contact me i may buy yours lol and secondly be really sure on your next car as im finding the cupra pretty hard to replace without spending 20 odd k
