BMW 3-Series Compact (2001 - 2004) 316ti ES 3d Auto (2003/53) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Everyone admires it & thinks it looks really classy & expensive.

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

All my friends love it & think it is so comfortable when travelling as passengers.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, I would, but this model has now been discontinued by BMW & replaced by the series 1 which I most definitely would NOT buy. The 316 Ti Es is a solidly built, well engineered car. You feel really safe in it driving on motorways as it is an excellent example of fine German engineering.

What are you likely to buy next?

I intend to keep it for ever as I love it so much!

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

£22,500

Williams in Bolton. Very helpful.

Brilliant! Handles well around town & performs well on motorways. Really comfortable too.

Good size for parking & easy too.

No problems whatsoever.

What's most practical about your car?

Certainly not the fuel consumption as expensive to run!
