3 out of 5

What does this car say about you?
I hate to think!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
"He must be growing old".

Would you buy this car again and why?
NO. Bodywork rust protection is poor. Cost of OEM spares is ridiculous and electronics make it intolerant of alternative products. Quality of some components falls short of the Mercedes expectation.

BMW 3 series Tourer.
