BMW 3-Series Saloon (2012 - 2019) 320i Sport 4d Step Auto (2013/63) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like a quality car. Unlike Audi drivers BMW drivers do not seem intent on seeing how close they can get to the car in front at the highest possible speed. But BMW's and their drivers are a cut above Audi.

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

Absolutely love it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would. It is a quality car and I can afford it.

What are you likely to buy next?

I really don't know. I'll have this one a couple of years, I expect. Then I'll see what's on offer.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

February 2016

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think it was the right price. It had 9,000 miles on the clock and came with servicing pack and warranty. I got an acceptable price on my trade in.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had a BMW 318i a few years ago but found it under powered. I left BMW for other makes then. I did like the quality so decided to buy another one - newer and more powerful.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent. Looked after me very well.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent. Smooth, very responsive and certainly powerful enough for me - much better than my old 318i. I always find run-flat tyres very loud and rather harsh - same on the old 318i. But that's just me.

What's it like to park?

Easy - no reversing camera but the iDrive screen helps with a pictorial display showing distance from objects.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Its size.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It comes with everything most modern cars come with nowadays. The automatic gearbox with Eco-plus, Comfort, Sport and Sport+ is probably my favourite option on this car. Also the iDrive is excellent. As is the cruise control with braking function.
