What does this car say about you?

Not really sure.

They all like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, but I want the newer model, and I'd got the 530 or above.

What are you likely to buy next?

I'm going back to uni, so looks like it might have to be exchanged for something cheaper, but if I can hang on to it, I will!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£13,000

When did you buy the car?

August 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a few hundred off the asking price, but the service I got from the dealer made it feel like a good deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I've always wanted a BMW.

What was the dealer like?

Really really great. Smart and friendly and whenever I go back in they always remember me.

What's it like to drive?

Amazing. I forget how good it is until I get into other cars.

What's it like to park?

Sensors all round, but it's still a big car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Few warning lights. All extinguished pretty quick.

What's most practical about your car?

Huge boot and big back seats. I used to have an MGTF so, it's nice.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The boot lifts itself open, and I like the iDrive.
