Economy
Value
Excellent quality and value for this class of vehicle.
Costs
Parts can be expensive, shop around local parts shops for good deals or go for the best quality and buy from a main dealer. High servicing and insurance costs but they're worth it.

On the road
Driving
Very comfy vehicle especially on the motorway.
Performance
Very quick for a 2 litre engine, not many other 2 litres on the road that can keep up with it.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable, I've owned my 520i from new and done 168,000 miles and never broke down or had any other problems; always starts first time.
Image
Very good looking car, always an eye catcher wherever I go.
Comfort
Very comfy thanks to lots of space and large firm seats,im just over 6' 2"and still got plenty headroom and legroom.

Security and Service
Security
Good security already fitted but it doesnt stop people trying to steal it, best to get some good reputable car security fitted, preferably security approved by Thatcham.
Service
Excellent level of service from BMW, not very often you go to a garage and get called sir by sales people and mechanics.
