BMW 3 Series standards for a lot less money.

It's a BMW so fuel, insurance and servicing costs are that little bit extra.

On the road
Driving
Very refined. Should be five stars but rear end scary unless dry. ASC-T is useless.
Performance
Not rapid but pretty good for a 1900cc.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Two years trouble free motoring.
Image
A lot of admiration from both young and older people. Looks faster than it is.
Comfort
Seats a bit uncomfy (for me) but high spec inside.
-
Security and Service
Security
Factory fitted META system is reliable, easy to use and sophisticated.
Service
From two services and two body repairs, I found the dealer standard of service very high.
