On the road
Driving
Simply a joy to drive; in town, cruising on motorways or sweeping country roads.
Performance
I have 5 sp tiptronic auto gearbox. It should be at least 6 speed. The solid build of the car means it is around 1500kg which penalises performance a bit.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. I have had mine since beginning of 2003. Compared to feedbacks from MB vs. BMW owners it is now clear that if you seek number one executive handling, powerful, reliable, outstanding quality and styled car then it has to be a BMW.
