  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Being diesel the economy is good but specing the car to your own taste can be costly.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Servicing is reasonable. Insurance average and fuel economy around 28 mpg when driven hard or in town.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A beautifully balanced car as expected from BMW. A slightly offset driving position but it is no major flaw in the rewarding car. The 320d is an excellent package with a smooth, responsive engine that will pull right through the rev range.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent for a diesel. Cannot fault this 4 cylinder engine.

    Almost the best lifestyle estate in its class and the blue and white badge says it all.

    True BMW but 5 adults would be pushing it!
