A 2 door hatchback, diesel BMW seems like a pretty cool car.

BMW lost the plot with the new one, they made it FWD and it looks like a Merc A class now. like spitting image.
Bim Diesel has a great chassis, in 3 door form its very 944 like(better backseat tho).
With the back seat down, its like a mini station wagon, almost as practical as a 44 (44 has wider hatch , can fit a 911 hood).
This particular one is gutless tho, 3cyl 116hp,260nm, its not going to win any races, but as a daily to get to work or shopping i don't need more than that. It handles well, brakes and corners well.. Its a quiet cabin and has 200 watt factory sound system that I think is alpine components..
I could get it chipped, they can easily be bumped to 150hp and 350nm but there's little point to that.. I have the Cayman to satisfy such needs
