Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not a fast car but good fun, little bit like a go-cart. good on long distance. very comfy. Very annoying for past two months as sunroof doesnt fit properly since being repaired and whistles over 45/50 mph. BMW say there is no problem with it!
What's it like to park?
Easy!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In the six months I have had the car it has been back in the garage 8 times, so far the windows have packed up 4 times, the wipers stopped working on the motorway, the rear suspension squeaks, the sunroof has broken stuck open twice, the airbag light has come on, the seatbelt light has come on and the aircon has packed up.
What's most practical about your car?
Not the most practical of cars, but you know this when you buy it, lots of room in the front, i am over six foot and there is lots of space
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It was the giant glass sunroof until it kept braking!
