Summary

Mrs loves it, says it's a mans car. But generally everyone likes it though noone loves it, except me.

Well i'm never not buying a BMW again, so when i can afford it i'll get a 325 ci sport. Untill then i'll stick with this.

Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I love BMW... Has the LSD which i wanted! And air con, and leather...

I've just said, he was ok, ok!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
This is why i brought the car... Not the most solid of handling cars but thats cause i've got the SE and it hasn't got the stiffened suspension, get that! It is quick enough though your always gonna want more... Great fun in the wet, not as tail happy as the e30 which is a good thing.
What's it like to park?
Biggest car i've had but not a problem.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Little bits like the window mechanism and the some seals but nothing unexpected from a 16 year old car. I got the window done cheap but can be expensive through main dealers but who is going to take a non-immaculate 16 year old car to a main dealer.
What's most practical about your car?
Well it's massive, lots of room, big boot and four doors!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I would say the air con but it needs to be re-gassed i think, but it has got to be the on board computer, you can have great fun with it but it also serves a good purpose. Leather always good too!
