Driving it
What's it like to drive?
An absolute pleasure, takes a while to get used to the stiffer suspension, not as smooth a ride as my previous 3 series but once you get used to this its fantastic
What's it like to park?
Good all round vision, rear park sensors make reverse parking so easy
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all
What's most practical about your car?
M Sport is not the most practical but that is not why you buy a sport, stiffer suspension takes a while to get used to as do the run flats but do not let anyone put you off this car for these reasons, try throwing it into a corner first!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Not fitted with loads of gadgets, upgraded wheels look stunning and the sports seats are very comfortable on longer journeys.
