BMW 320d M-Sport
I sold my 07 197 in blue a few days ago. What a coincidence!
Turbo LY R27

Mini Cooper S sport
You've bought it and NOW you're asking if it's a good car? LOL
Swift Sport
Nah, they're pants. Now what you gonna do??
Hello from down the road (Dipton). I can't comment on the car as I've never had a 197, but i'd guess it'll be better than the RSI....

Yeah, WTactualF?
Comedy, it's a bit like saying 'I've just dipped my gentlemans tackle into liquid nitrogen, does it hurt????' 
Actually I'd be interested to hear YOUR views on the 197 vs. the ST as I'm on the look out for a run around and 1st choice is currently the 197, but the ST is a cheaper option.

Yes it is. It's a retrospective question to a situation you should have sussed out before jumping straight in......

Y'a got me.
Few little niggles I've had with mine:
Brake pads seizing in the calipers
Door seals splitting
Door handles becoming loose
Boot lock rattling
Seat bolsters wearing (non recaro)
Mechanically they seem pretty solid though. Mine hasn't had any easy life in the 18 months I've owned it, but its now on 54k and runs just as good, if not better than the day I bought it. Regular oil changes (4000 - 6000miles) to stop the dephaser f**king up, and if you are going to drive it hard, keep an eye on the oil level, mine gets through about a litre every 3000 miles (don't rely on the trip computer, its s**t). Other than that, very good cars, and a lot nicer to live with on a day to day basis that the 1*2's imo.
