Its a toss up between my black HDi DTurbo and my 325tds touring.
The HDi was amazing when it worked, the noise was incredible, the fact that it could get close to the rev limiter in 5th inside a standing mile, always divisive, always a talking point, always broken and always lovable. The Evo beating, M3 chasing, attention whore of a car. I was never more proud then when people confused it for a supercharged GTi6 and every person that snapped their neck to look at it or had to do a double take at it made me grin like a cheshire cat.
The BMW was a different kettle of fish, a brutal thug of a car in a sharp suit, every corner was an opportunity to let the huge torque smoke the rear tyres, everyone gawps when you go past looking where your going out the side window. Pegging a 2 bar boost gauge was interesting, the only car Ive not been able to get my low entry jack under but it had to go, I let far far too much of my inner hooligan out in that car and my driving licence wouldn't of stayed in my pocket long if I'd of kept it.
