After two and a half amazing years with my 120d, it was finally time to move on and change car. The 120d was my first car and I genuinely fell in love with BMW's because of it. I bought the car with 50,000 miles on the clock and I've put 30,000 miles on it since without any serious problems.
Thank you all for the advice and help over the last two years and for spending all of my money on mods
I've replaced it with an E92 LCI 330d Coupe. The 6 cylinder engine is so smooth and refined compared to the 120d. It's the 245bhp model with 384 lbs/ft of torque and it feels so effortless. The torque is amazing. The car feels more planted and I generally feel more confident at higher speeds, the car just sticks. The 1 series is much better to drive in the city though, more agile and the steering is lighter.
Everything feels a couple steps above the 1 series. The 3 series coupe is a really nice place to sit in. More spacious and feels much more luxurious. It has heated/electric memory seats, pro media sat nav, bluetooth audio streaming, cruise controls, factory xenons, 313 19" alloys and other options I probably don't know about yet.
I've already started planning my mods modding - ordered black grills and a little boot spoiler, just waiting for them to arrive. Next will be a 335 performance diffuser and exhaust, spacers, black calipers and potentially a remap towards the end of the year if I feel I'm getting bored of the power.
Here are a few pictures:
