Economy
Value
An amazing amount of car for not a great deal of cash, gives me a constant 55.4mpg, quality car for not too much cash. Great value.
Costs
Servicing is expensive but you get what you pay for and BMW don't overlook anything, even setting the car clock for me, and I didn't have to ask!

Driving
Lovely car to drive, feels solid on the road, handles well and brakes superbly, quiet and comfortable.
Performance
For a diesel, amazing, torquey, quick off the mark and responsive, does smoke a bit though under power.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all, starts every time, runs perfectly, no worries.
Image
Bit too common now, but still makes mondeo drivers jealous, love it! still a status symbol over the average rep-mobile.
Comfort
Seats don't really suit the larger person, but generally a comfortable drive, very pleasing to look at, all the gadgets you could ask for and you feel relaxed after a long drive.

Security and Service
Security
Never had any problems, but it's got an alarm and immobilizer, key is programmed to lock all doors once you get moving.
Service
Expensive, but thorough and you know it's been fully examined and cared for.
