Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£8,000
When did you buy the car?
April 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes on price as mine is top model in that range and also has BMW factory fitted sat nav & telephone connection. Several small scratches & bumped wheel rims were repaired for me. Odd missing trim items were replace and a full service was carried out before delivery.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I've always wanted one, it's my dream car :).
What was the dealer like?
He was young & inexperienced & promised much but didn't really deliver. I think that he wasn't happy that I negotiated such a good deal & so was uncooperative & tardy later & never registered the sale with DMV so I had to do this myself later:(.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
An absolute dream :).
What's it like to park?
Very good visibility and easy clutch control.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
It is my absolute pride and joy - I love it and would buy again BUT I have had a few problems with it despite paying for a full independent engineer's report before buying and getting the dealer to mend/address all items highlighted. The electronic management system is failing so many electronics are intermittently not working; roof occasionally jams, window opens when I open driver's door, sat nav screen doesn't open automatically & has to be manually jiggled up, occasionally blank screen. I have been advised by BMW that this will cost £750 for parts & labour to replace.
What's most practical about your car?
Much bigger boot than expected. Boot opener button in driver footwell. Multiple seat adjustment buttons.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated seats :).
