Due to us having the dog, our usual choices were a little limited due to space. As the dog was shuddering every time he approached the Clio RS due to the hard ride we knew it had to be something a little bit more practical.
So bullet was bitten and ended up with this:

BMW 3 Series 335D X-Drive with the majority of bells and whistles in the option box ticked. Engine is also putting out a very nice 313bhp. Also de-badged so that majority of people think its a 320D to hopefully stop any traffic light challenges

Loving the cossetting ride and all the various gadets.
Big bonus is that the dog now wants to get into the car, open the tailgate and he jumps straight in!!
Not managed to give it a decent blast yet but reckon the next on the shopping list will be the AC Schnitzer springs. The X-Drive is slightly flawed in the spring set up from standard (even with the Adaptives I have specced) so for the sake of £300 + fitting it makes it a simple upgrade with warranty intact
