While I would probably buy new, I have been taking a look on the AUC site to see some real world pictures of colour / wheels etc. One odd thing caught my eye - when looking at two cars with an apparently identical spec, apart from the 30d/20d engine, one has a front radar sensor and one does not. I can't see anything in the spec which could account for this difference - I would expect neither to have it. Here are the pics of a black 330d and a grey 320d:

Here is the listing for the black 330d: https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/2...b-3ccc676db884

Here is the listing for the grey 320d: https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/2...0-d20485948ff8

Incidentally, I notice that the 330d has larger exhaust pipes, as with some F30 models:

But can anyone explain the presence of the radar sensor on the 320d, and not on the 330d?

Cheers!

Driver Assistant option on the 320d (radar cruise). It is well worth having if you do motorway miles...
