BMW 3-Series Coupe (2006 - 2013) 330d SE 2d Auto (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Classy and good taste.

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

Get a bit of stick about it being a bmw, and black, but they all love it, especially the interior. Gets a lot of admiration.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, to get 45mpg from a car that gets to 60 in just over 6 seconds is an awesome combination.

What are you likely to buy next?

Similar but newer, maybe 335d for the slightly better performance.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

March 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got a great deal considering it was main dealer, possibly because although its got about every extra I think a lot of people want the m-sport version whereas mine is se spec.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Several issues with the salesman who lied about certain things. When I finally found out, the dealership took responsibility and dealt with it very well.

What's it like to drive?

Brilliant handling and great performance.

What's it like to park?

Easy, good visual display on screen compliments the sensors. Having the side mirror dipping so you can see the curb is brilliant, don't know why more don't do it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Creaky front seats, faded parking sensors had turned more red than black which I had to pay to have repainted myself.

What's most practical about your car?

Massive boot and split fold seats despite being a coupe, and the electric arm that passes the seat belt once you've got in is a nice touch. Auto xenons and rain sensor good too.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I use the digital tv more than I thought I would.
