On the road
Driving
Fantastic driving position.
Performance
Smooth, a bit slow from the traffic lights but mid range will keep up with any 2 litre. Handing good in dry but gets a bit crazy when wet, care is required in icy conditions or you will end up spinning out.

Living with it
Reliability
(Touch wood) ......engine has never let me down yet. Problem with Locks, ABS sensors needed replacing at £80 a time, and just a few patches of faded paintwork.
Image
Excellent, all friends/familly well impressed.
Comfort
Good, not a lot of room in the back though.

Security and Service
Security
Good, maybe too good if you set off the immobiliser!
Service
Never used a dealer for servicing as too costly, however BMW did a re-call to replace a fault very proffesional
