    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Holds the road well for a 4x4. Apart from that pretty uninspiring.

    Easy when the parking sensors work! Not when they don't! Lots of blind spots.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    The parking sensors are constantly malfunctioning. It has been back to BMW 6 times and they still have not rectified the problem. Also the paint on the front of the car has started to peel off in shreds! BMW are fixing this under warranty. Even so you do not expect this from a £6k car let alone a £35k one!

    What's most practical about your car?

    High seating position.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Business media is ok. We could not find one with professional media at the time.
