My Daily *beware, non Nissan content* BMW 330d Estate

brapp brapp!
Haven't posted any pics of this yet, as it was a bit rough when I got it, and needed some paintwork etc.
Needed an estate car for work which needed to be comfy and economical as I do 1000 miles a week, when I saw this on Driftworks it ticked the work boxes, but it also ticked so many others, surprisingly economical (50+ MPG average), surprisingly quick (3.0L Turbodiesel), Cruise control!, oh, and it drifts awesomely and is pretty pimp!
This is how it looked when I bought it

Everything was there from the off, it's got BMW 17x8 and 17x9 staggered 'Throwing Star' wheels off an old M5, AC Schnitzer Coilovers, Big Frontmount Intercooler, Straight through Exhaust and a Remap.
Just needed some attention cosmetically.
I fitted a new wing, and painted both front wings, and both of the rear quarters at home, and polished & waxed it.

My mate shot a few pics at a local airstrip

Steve you'd have to mount the drivers seat in the boot to reach the pedals.

I like. How much was it?

Boss has an E46 320d estate for day to day use and its nice, but the engine doesn't feel up to it.
 
It was £3000.
Good standard examples fetch £2500+ but steer clear of the facelift versions as they have some sorta intake flaps that fail and kill the engines off.
The 320d's are a bad choice, not only do that have a smaller engine, the brakes and stuff are worse. This has M3 size discs & pads, just with cast calipers opposed to the M3's billet multi-pots, plus the extra power and possibly better MPG!
