    Sensible servicing and 3 year warranty makes for happy boy.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Outstanding. Have always had BMs. Tried bew C-Class diesel, but not in the same league. Mercs have a lot to learn from BMW - the drive of the 330d is untouchable.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very, very lively. Sees off all those silly boys in their Golf GTis!

    Although getting a little dated now, the face lift 3-series looks very well, with sport kit and 18" MVs.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Full leather and all the toys. Ride's a tad hard, due to sports suspension, but more than makes up for it when you can take motorway slips and think you're on rails.
