Hi all, after much consideration ive decided to get rid of my beloved BMW330ci sport & get something new & slightly more kiddie friendly. As youve probably guessed, ive now got my heart set on a maz6 mps (look better than a vec vxr & much less common than a wrx!) I was wondering, other than the obvious with any car, is there anything specific to look/listen out for when looking at these?? Also, were any of these pre £400 road tax, or am i just gonna have to bite the bullet lol! Also, what real world mpg do most people acheive? Sorry for the questions, any response would be greatly appreciated ta  Baz

Hello ad a big  Search about in here about the turbo and VVT, both rare but not unheard of problems. There are some £270 tax 6's knocking about, though these are like rocking horse poo As mpg, on a stock 6 your looking at 25mpg ish round town and high 30's on a run, it's been known to break the 40mpg mark too.

Thanks for the quick response guys, thanks for the link too remix. Mpg is about what i was expecting then, 'spose for the sake of a couple hundred pounds im best searching for the best in my budget rather than cheapo tax models then! Just had a nosey at the gallery, glad to see quite a few peeps do subtle mods to their cars, i always tend to have windows done, airbox drilled for a bit of noise & then lowered for a nice stance, plan for the maz to be no different when i get one either

The r/t rates are £280 and £470.
I have oem 6 and I only get 20 in towns and 30 on a run. I do not drive it hard.

hope your mate knows his onions at mapping as a few booms have happened with maps on these. Do a lot of research 1st mate.

I wouldn't let anyone that don't know the disi engine map it. So as spam says be careful!
Other than that welcome mate :-)
