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

Economy
Value
Value and BMW dont go in together... buy a Fiat if you want value.
Costs
Nothing that breaks the bank.

Driving
For me it's a drivers car... not a pasengers car. Drives well, but with a chassis, suspension and handling system this good, it's worth going for more powerful engines.
Performance
There are faster cars out there, but none of them are carrying the solid chassis of a BMW around with them.

Living with it
Reliability
So far, no problems. When buying second hand, always take a mechanic. Well kept cars will look after you.
Image
A real head turner, the coupe is best, as it looks a million times better than the 4-door. There's a lot of gay colours to avoid, though. I hate Boston green and white.
Comfort
For drivers, you're in heaven, especially if you've got air con. Don't know/care about passengers.

Security
With the thieving scum around now-a-days, you need your own military to look after this baby.
