  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I got a great deal on mine.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Hasn't cost me anything except fuel, but dealer prices seem fair.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Feels like the dream machine it is.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Get a 6-cylinder - the exhaust note is a symphony. The 1.8/9 is way underpowered (drive one and you'll see).

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nothing to worry about (thanks to the BMW warranty, which has served me well).

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very good (remember it's a sportscar!).

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Decent standard fit gear - just be a little sensible where you park.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Excellent sales and comprehensive BMW used car warranty (shame I needed to use it so often). Just remember, at the end of the day you're just another 'unit sold' to the BMW chairman.
