Hey guys,
My current (family orientated) steed is a Honda Civic, 58 plate EX 2.2D with about 340nm. I've had her for 5.5 years and she has been amazing. However she is getting a bit long in the tooth now and has various issues which in total may end up costing me more to set right than what the car is worth so much to my dismay, she has to go.
I didn't know what I wanted next, but the missus has recently bought a Nissan Juke and I found I quite liked the high seating position compared to the much lower civic.
Long story short, I decided the next car should be a X3. Need lots of space etc and decided I deserve a Beemer.. ;-D (Because I'm worth it!)
I'm a bit of an idiot and wouldn't consider anything that wasn't at least 3L and I wanted an auto.. So I start looking... I had a budget of £9000...
Found an almost immaculate one 2007 with under 69000 miles on, clean as a whistle inside, literally looks brand new. Full service history and only one MOT had a fail, lamp alignment a few years ago, no advisories for £7995 - 7 miles away from my house!
Stuck a deposit down and the guy will be getting a couple of body work bits done and I reckon I'll be picking it up either at the end of this week or next week.
Now, my confusion... It isn't the SD model, as far as I know, but I keep getting conflicting information. I thought it was the 218bhp M-Sport with the High Speed Syncronisation which raises the top speed to 150mph - which of course is ridiculous and I'll probably never go above 70mph........ Err.......
Anyways, I keep getting differing info over the BHP and the g/km. I've got the registration and the VIN number but I'd like to know if there is a definitive place I can go online to put this one to bed?
A VIN search produces..
