Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Moving from a 335i coupe this was never going to set my heart racing but It is a silky smooth ride and more power then the 318 badge suggests. Classic BMW handling and sporty set up prevail even in this guise.
What's it like to park?
Easy peasy especially with those rear sensors. 16 inch standard alloys make Kerbing nightmares on 19inch low pros a thin of the past.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Early days but everything seems fine for now.
What's most practical about your car?
Im used to coupes so the 4 doors are a revelation! Boot looks plenty big shame the seats down come down.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Spec is pretty basic so I'd say the multifunction steering wheel.
