Economy
Value
Great value. Having moved from a Mini Cooper S, where everything was extra, and looked at 3 Series and X types, it was nice not having to pay for essentials.
Costs
Fantastic economy, 45 - 50 mpg easily achievable in real world motoring. Service costs seem fine.

On the road
Driving
Drives fine, handling fine. Composure over all roads and most speeds is great. If you're looking for an out and out great handling car then you'll be disappointed for e.g even with the fat 225/ 17 wheels it's a definate understeerer.
Performance
Fantastic engine, very undiesel like with no turbo lag. Engine has the beating of both BMW's and Jaguars 2 litre units for performance and refinement. Lack of a sixth gear a bonus, the 5 ratios are perfect for UK motoring and fast motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
Faultless, build quality brilliant - far better than Jaguar X type and up there with BMW.
Image
Does it have one? The car looks great and comes without the sometimes negative images of other makes.
Comfort
Most comfortable car I've ever had. Seats are fantastic. Minor niggle is inability to have fresh air from face level vents. Fantastic engine refinement & negligable wind noise draw attention to noise of optional 17"" wheels. Standard fit 16"" much quit
