    Just about acceptable, but BMW prices are high and breakdown service was disgusting. Had to use RAC.

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Apart from battery, perfect. If you have a poor battery, the management system disables certain electrical functions thus allowing you to continue with driving.
