Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not cheap but some good nearly new deals from BMW dealers. Once driven the price starts to make sense.
Costs
Yet to be serviced but assured by dealer 1st service is very reasonable. Long service intervals if not thrashed.

Driving
Hatchback styling disguise roadster-quality dynamics. Nothing else comes close in the premium hatch sector.
Performance
2.0 diesel is stunning. Refined, powerful with no yo-yo torque delivery. Av. 45mpg without being gentle.
