I would make any plans of what to buy quite yet, by the end of Q1 next year £15k might buy you a load more car that it does today, just wait......

I saw an E39 M5 for under 8 grand today. I saw an LE E34 M5 (probably the best E34 M5 in the UK) for 8 grand yesterday. E38 7-series regularly go for under 5 and you'll have plenty left if something goes wrong.

For 15 grand, you'll really be spoilt for choice -- IF you chuck out the restrictions (which are pretty nonsensical ones, IMO!)

If you want a sensible, pragmatic choice, get a 118 diesel, you'll be on the lowest tax bracket and they are great fun to drive, handling wise.
Ciao,
Spokey

Guys,

Just thinking of upgrading my entry level 3 series to
something better, not immediately but by first quarter
next year. I have appx 15k to shed and want to buy used
something appx 2 years old and less then 30k miles
driven.

Users of car will be myself (weekday office goer) my
wife (weekend passenger) and a baby (7 months now).

I was planning for a hard top convertible (325ci) but
don't think it will be comfortable with a baby now. Give
me your input on this if you have been through this
situation ever.

Shall I go for 5 series? Shall I buy diesel or petrol?
What kind of car can I afford with my current budget?
blah blah blah... so many question coming in mind. So I
need your recommendation before I make any move.

Many thanks.
-Afsar
