BMW 3-Series Touring (2012 - 2019) 335d xDrive M Sport (07/15-) 5d Step Auto Owner Review

I struggle to find any negative things to say about this car. I did a lot of research before selecting it. I was looking to replace a 15 year old Seat LEON 1.8 20VT, which is a fast light hatchback with an excellent load space, so it had to do everything that did and more. I took one for a test drive and immediately knew it was the right car for me. I do scuba diving so carry a lot of heavy wet kit and I sometimes tow a boat. I do a lot of miles as I work away from home. I'm a quick driver (and that does not mean I break the speed limits, I just get a move on) I like a car that handles well but can carry stuff. And the acceleration 0-60 in under 5s - wow! It makes me smile and feel good every time I drive it Bad points: It's a heavy car with 4WD so does understeer a lot (compared to my previous FWD hatchback), though as long as you learn how it behaves in different road conditions it's all good. Rear passengers don't like the rather low flat leather seats, they are bit slippery and hard. I did discover a build up of leaves in the AC intake, which I would say is a bad design as they are very difficult to get out due to overhanging pipework.
