    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For the price of a well wrung out 5 series I got a box fresh Performance car with more character, bhp and equipment.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    My last car was a 4 litre jeep, it can't beat that for expensive parts and servicing.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Well weighted controls, Lowered suspension has the right blend between fine road holding and comfort, can be caught out by quick getaways though. 250bhp front wheel drive. No surprise really.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The original Q car, I have humbled all manner of 6 cylinder BMW's in this. It is ferocious.

    This is a truly understated performance bargain that I am really trying to keep a lid on. It would really spoil my fun if everybody got one. I have owned 6 cylinder BMW's, Alfa's, Jeeps and this is the best of the lot its a monster!
