  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It doesn't handle as well as my 330D. There's a bit of body roll & the throttle feels a bit stiff. The looks more than make up for all that ..

    What's it like to park?

    Very good. The bonnet is quite long so be careful.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No problems at all. It is a bit thirsty though.

    What's most practical about your car?

    It's a convertible so it's not meant to be practical. I guess the heated seats & electric hood are a great bonus.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
