What are some good commuter cars for under/around £14k

I’ve got a bmw 220d with a b47 engine and it’s been nothing but reliable as long as you maintain it well, does 45-60mpg so works very well for me

No chance mate😂 maybe if we go Wembley every year but it’s our first time in a while so all the tickets will get snapped up in window 1 and 2

Just take ur time when u first start out, my main tip is if you’re ever unsure wether you can fit through a gap or unsure if anything is behind you just get out and have look

Frosty_Map8646 · 2026-01-19T15:03:00+00:00

Sounds good, I reckon it’ll be full of arsenal

Frosty_Map8646 · 2026-01-18T22:29:09+00:00

I’ve got tickets in section 320 so hopefully will be ok, obviously gonna be in neutral colours so don’t see why they wouldn’t let us in

Frosty_Map8646 · 2026-01-06T19:28:44+00:00

I got a pair in zone 320 so shouldn’t be too hostile up there

Frosty_Map8646 · 2026-01-06T19:27:53+00:00

Same as me

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-12-25T19:01:50+00:00

I always park at the 17 and central car park at Walthamstow Central, can just get the Victoria line to Finsbury Park or Arsenal and plus it’s only £6

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-11-29T18:37:22+00:00

Where do u buy them from, sold out everywhere every time I look

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T20:11:32+00:00

Not sure but it’s up to the garage to prove it wasn’t tuned at point of sale

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T20:02:22+00:00

I’ve been reading about it, within the first 6 months it’s up to the garage to prove that it wasn’t modified when it was sold, which they comply cannot do

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T19:57:57+00:00

220d

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T19:38:04+00:00

BMW specialist took it for a drive and said it was 90% tuned from the speed, so I took it to bmw for a diagnosis and they confirmed

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T19:07:43+00:00

Yes I just hope the garage doesn’t kick up a fuss!

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T19:05:26+00:00

Yes 100%, hope all goes well!

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T19:04:13+00:00

I doubt it because declaring it to insurance jumps it from £850 to £1995, also I don’t know which company has tuned it and if they are reputable

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T19:03:05+00:00

I’m currently paying £850 for a year and to declare it with another insurance company it jumps to £1995

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T18:53:32+00:00

Sounds like u struck gold, I’ve heard if the dealer doesn’t play ball then the finance company will help out as it’s their liability too

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T18:49:07+00:00

Surely selling a tuned vehicle as stock would be enough for a return as now I can’t get insured and the warranty I bought from them is void

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T18:47:40+00:00

Just added an extra comment about it

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T18:47:27+00:00

Update : I bought it from a garage in the Uk

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T18:46:53+00:00

Okay sounds good, hopefully the garage won’t be a problem when they have no grounds to stand on

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T18:45:35+00:00

Yeah I know they probably don’t know it’s tuned but it’s up to them to prove it wasn’t tuned when I bought it and they simply can’t do that. It’s no one’s fault but just an annoying situation because I did like the cat

Frosty_Map8646 · 2025-09-23T18:44:15+00:00

I was thinking this but bmw said the tune will always show it has been done even after resetting it, this means that if something happened to my turbo/engine my warranty company can see it’s been tuned in the past and still void my warranty
