Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Performance is average, but a good 1.8 engine, its power is after about 70mph, then it just keeps on going!!! NICE. A beautiful smooth car on the motorways, no bumps, it just glides. The rear wheel drive is great fun, bit lethal in the wet though, if not careful, it will bite you. Fantastic if you feel like giving it some grief pulling away on a good corner. It will do what you want it to do, be it Mean or just plain innocent.

What's it like to park?

No problems, the power steering helps, like any car really, once you get to know it, you manage most parking spaces.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Central Locks have had a few funny turns but nothing accept the expected general wear and tear.

What's most practical about your car?

A great size cabin space and a fair sized boot- suited all my needs perfectly.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The MPG Counter is extremly handy, not all cars had them at that age, and you just cant fault those famous BMW Orange Dials. You know your in the Ultimate Driving Machine!!!
