BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo (2013 - 2020) 330d xDrive M Sport (Prof Media) 5d Step Auto (2015/15) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I'm happy to look slightly left field and hopefully that I enjoy driving.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

So far all comments very favourable. It's in Alpine White with Grey wheels and looks stunning in the metal.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, so far. Early day's but I have to say, so far I'm smitten.

What are you likely to buy next?

No idea yet as I expect to get 4-5 years from this one. My 3rd BMW, though and they do have an X factor.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£40,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

Excellent discount and 2.9% APR PCP deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

After years of driving a MPV, decided to get something more exciting, yet practical.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent. Very patient as I tried many variants of 3 Series Touring and GT before buying.

What's it like to drive?

Great. Softer than saloon or Touring. I choose the 330d as I wanted some grunt - and it sure delivers! Lovely engine and gearbox combination. Ride is the biggest surprise - even on optional 19" rims its very smooth.

What's it like to park?

Not too bad. It's a long car, but sensors and rear camera make it easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing, but it's only two weeks old!

What's most practical about your car?

Fantastic legroom and surprisingly big boot. We're a tall family - 3 x 6' plus and we fit with room to spare - it was roomier than 5 Series touring in the back.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Professional media is fantastic. Being able to Google a location on the BMW app on your smartphone and send it to the car is such a handy / timesaving feature. Sport auto gearbox is also superb.
