Advice Wanted - new purchase

Hi,

Am new here and have been reading loads of the posts on here which are great. I am looking to buy a 3 series in the summer and really wanted some tips as am unsure on what I should go for. Hopefully some of you nice peeps can let me know what you think.

I am after:

3 series (of course ) - prob go for a saloon as bit cheaper and need to factor in kids coming along next year!

£15k ish to spend - maybe stretched a little if a deal is to be done;

Want something nippy but not too expensive to insure! (i am 29)

My wife and i both walk to work so the car will mainly be used at weekends, we tend to bomb up and down the M1 every few weeks, but other than that we'll be pootling around - prob only looking at 8 or 9k miles per year.

I'd like something quick looking - am I right in thinking the 'm-series' bodystyling is lowered?

What do you think of 330's and the difference between 325s? I am prob going to head to a stealer (getting the lingo already) as if I am forking out so much cash I'd like some piece of mind!

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

P
