Summary
What does this car say about you?
Young professional who likes his cars as well as his practicality.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They really like it. Everyone has said how comfortable it is... and how fast it is.
Would you buy this car again and why?
My dealer offered me another M135i, built to my desired spec a year in to owning my current one. I considered it for a while but couldn't justify it.
What are you likely to buy next?
Once the HP Finance is paid off on the M135i, I may consider trading it in for something cheaper to run and invest in a weekend toy. Perhaps a Porsche Cayman R.

Driving it

Very easy to drive around town. Leave the driving mode in Comfort and it's like any other town car, with light steering & visibility.

The turning circle makes this car very easy to parallel park on narrow roads or smaller spaces.

Nothing major has gone wrong with the car. I recently had some warranty work done on the car for corroded exhaust tips though.
What's most practical about your car?
It's like any other hatchback in terms of practicality... just with a bonus of 320bhp!!

Professional Media, along with the Harmon Kardon System. The adaptive suspension is very good.
