Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very well built, designed and engineered.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent fuel consumption, but then it doesn't go fast enough to worry about fuel costs really.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's ok.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Utterly boring amd may be likened to a stunned slug. If you're looking for a kick, give this one a miss - underpowered even though it's fitted with the 1.9 engine. This weight of car should be nothing less than 2.0 litres.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    It's 4 years old with every service in the book, so it should be reliable.

    Middle of the road now I think.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Seats are uncomfortable over long distances of 200 miles +.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No issues.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    BMW provide an excellent service to the point where I've been chauffered into Bournemouth from the local dealership and collected while they serviced the car.
