  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Absolutely amazing to drive, the power these cars have is immense with quick gear change and torque. The auto steptronic has a sport mode which increases the revs and changes gear quicker than normal so if you want to beat someone from the lights then slip it in sport!

    What's it like to park?

    Easy to park with the sensors and a display which tells you exactly where the object is you are about to hit.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing

    What's most practical about your car?

    The way the car is set out is quite cool and modern looking, although the extras you have to pay for at BMW is unbelievable, the automatic is very smooth and quick, its the best auto I've driven.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The New I-Drive in the BMW's takes a bit to get into but I would reccomend getting a BM with it in because once you get used to them they're great with lots to keep you occupied.
