Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I think you need to get the M sport edition of this car to make it look its best. I bought a set of winter wheels and these have non run flat tyres on. The car is completely transformed with lower road noise and a much more compliant ride so once the summer tyres need replacing I will be ditching the run flats. I think the 430i is a good compromise between the 440i and the 420i, it's almost 100kg lighter than the 440i so the front end feels a bit more nimble and it doesn't sound so bad for a 4 pot. It's not the easiest car to determine where the corners are when parking so the sensors are a must and if you can find one with a rear camera that will be a big help. This car never fails to put a smile on my face every time I drive it and I think BMW got the aesthetic design just right with perfectly proportioned lines.

How reliable do you find the car?

I bought this as an ex demo vehicle with less than 5k miles, there was some issues with the bluetooth, heating on the wing mirrors and the seat belt butler arm. The dealer was less than stellar in repairing under warranty which necesitated several visits.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

It may not be the most exciting interior to look at but it's well made, the ride comfort is very good, the performance is very impressive for a 4 cylinder and the mmi system is brilliant.
