Autoblog-advice: powerful successor for gekietelde 325d

Everyone has a time or what is seen: the Top Gear races. James and Richard go by public transport to get Jeremy to beat in a supercar (DB9, 612, SLR, Veyron).
Very entertaining, but it makes no sense of course, because the Range Rover car is fast enough. Herein are the people that Jeremy actually filming, so that Supercar is absolutely not necessary.
So you need a car with plenty of power, but also the consumption are modest. Eduard thinks the same way. At this time, he rides in such a car: a fully equipped BMW 325d Touring M-Sport version, with nice rims, and as icing on the cake is also very tickled to 300pk. Sounds good.
Not that the car him bad, on the contrary, but it is once again time for something different. Something new. He has the AB advisory panel enabled in order to search for a suitable successor. It should once again be a station wagon, but is not required. Stronger still: a sedan, coupe or even roadster. The car should definitely not be larger than its current, so no E-segmenter. A manual gearbox is a plus, but is going to be very hard. As long as the consumption of the moment, and the ability lots. Advantage, we may go shopping in Germany, because Eduard is from Belgium. BPM is known in those countries not…
Before we go on, the wish list of Eduard:
Current /previous cars:BMW 325d Touring (E91),
Sale / lease:Sale
Business / private:Private
Budget:€ 35.000
Annual mileage:24,000 km
Brandstofvoorkeur:not much of a difference, if he had the 1 in 9 pulls
Reason to purchase another car:mileage current car is tapping really
Family composition:Two adults and two teenagers
Preferred brands /models:no
No-go models / marks:None, but no SUV
This is tricky, because with this list of demands he drives the perfect car. However, we do not know and go out looking. Thanks to the restrictions, it is a bit of a Germanic party has become, but we knew a couple of exceptions. These are the options:
BMW 330d:
The successor of the car that you already had. If you want, you can even go for a 335d. The 335d won’t have tuned, because this is already on 313 very healthy horsepower. There are two reasons for the 330d. Really economical seem to be the biturbodiesels of BMW in the practice and you’re also not stuck with AWD. And with 258 hp, still plenty of power under the hood. 3-series is still the most logical choice. There are many in the budget to find, so you’re not the grand prize will be lost. Since the current car is customized to your desire, you can BMW go on the accessory guide of M Performance.
Audi A5 3.0 TDI DTM Champion Edition:
Eduard wants to 250hp, and this Audi A5 post-facelift gets that just doesn’t have, but with a simple chip is on 280pk. With a bit of work is 300 no problem, then the consumption is immense, just like his current car. Maybe not a bochtenridder as the 3-series, but there are few better Autobahnstormers imaginable. Don’t make the mistake of being satisfied with the 2.7 diesel, this is considerably weaker both in strength and quality. The DTM was an anniversary model to the obtained DTM title in 2013 to celebrate. For 35k you can a couple in Germany. Of course, all very well equipped.
Renault Laguna Coupe 3.0 V6 dCi:
May be a better buy than you might think. Because the reliability stands on a lonely height. It is just a very nice car to see. That Aston Martin features very little ageing. In terms of luxury, you don’t have to worry, because really all the options are there. For 35 mille you can use one of the latest Coupe’s with demo kilometres of fetch. It is, however, completely different than a BMW, so a test ride should tell whether this is your thing. In any case it is a very underrated car, and is definitely worth a view.
Mercedes-Benz C350 CDI Estate Avantgarde:
The C-class coupe was crazy enough not to use six-cylinder diesel delivered, this remained the responsibility of the E-class Coupe. However, for 35 mille do you have in Germany a very late C350 Estate. This was a while produced in addition to the current (the new C-class). In the factory they had a lot of power: 265 horsepower (Brabus D6 kuurtje and you’re sitting on 300). As usual, this was also a uitloopmodel at a bargain price with all luxury equipped. Leather, large navi, nice wheels, panoramic roof: there’s usually on. Check out this video to see where you should pay attention to.
Citroen C5 Biturbo By Carlsson:
Carlsson (and its sister company Hartge) have had years of experience with quick Fransozen, think of the previous C5 Carlsson and the Laguna and Safrane Biturbo. Funnily enough, did they for this the power not to perform (although it was). How can we understand, still don’t, but someone thought it a good idea to have the 241pk strong V6 diesel in a C5. The Carlssons look a bit thicker and also drive better (especially at higher speed), but a regular C5 sedan on small wheels is the ultimate sleeper. Beautiful items start around 20 mille, with peaks of up to 30 for all late models with hardly any miles. In any case it is unique. Carlsson built the C5 in command of Citroën Germany, so it is not just a tuned car.
Mercedes-Benz SLK250 CDI:
A two-seater was also not a problem. Do you want to combine that with ability, that is often associated with a higher petrol consumption. Both the Audi TT, Mercedes SLK are available with a diesel engine. Since the Mercedes is a more powerful engine, as well as rear-wheel drive and a standard klapdak we go for this car. You see them little, R172. And that is a shame, because they are a whole step better than the predecessor, especially the interior, there is on the windscreen are gone. The SLK is not really a purebred sports car, but for day to day use very suitable. A V6 diesel is not available, but the 250 CDI already delivers 204hp and is a lot lighter than the V6 block.
Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 4-Motion Highline:
One of the strongest four-cylinder diesels is the 2.0 TDI. A whopping 240 hp delivers this block. If you want, you can go to the friends of ABT Sportsline and they are 280. Admittedly, the Passat is not as exciting. It is a very good car and the interior is very beautiful. The German Highlines are generally very well-equipped. One more benefit, this Passat is a full generation younger than the A5, C5, C-class, and Laguna. And that brand, for example, the navigation operations. That is in the Passat top. The put your pants not on fire, but the Passat offers a lot for its money.
BMW 225d Coupe Sport:
Just like the SLK a bit smaller, but certainly no less fun. The M235i is a winner, but the six-in-line with the best will in the world, is not economical, certainly not if you are using it for which it is built. However, the 2.0 diesel with dual turbo is also provided, a manual gearbox is even possible (although this is very rare). By default, they are already pretty smooth, although AC Schnitzer probably something there for you. Most of the performances in Germany are fully implemented. You will deliver something in terms of power, so I would first take a detour to see if they like it.
