  • Summary

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Not sure really. I haven't got enough money for a decent 3 series?

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They haven't really said

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    No. I had a E46 3 series BMW before and it really was twice the car that this is. The interior just feels cheap and rattles on this car. To be honest i don't think the newer E90 3 series is any better in terms of quality.

    Mercedes or Audi
