    Superb value, a great investment, these cars will never stop running.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Sure to maintain a BMW is expensive, however services are not as frequent and the possibilities concerning technical and mechanical faults are low.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The responsiveness and feedback this car gives is outstanding, and with sport suspension and a lowered body you can tackle sharp corners at high speeds.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For a 3 litre diesel... you can't get much better than this. You're able to drive the car like Michael Schumacher and still have a high MPG. This car has more torque then an M3, enough said.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    With the MII body kit and the 18in alloy wheels that are fitted on a sport version, it looks outstanding without being too aggressive or arrogant.
