Worth every penny.

On the road
Driving
Unbelievable cornering. You really are in control of this machine.
Performance
Hmm... for a 1.6 you'd think it'd be one of the first off the lights. Rev it hard to get it somewhere fast. Smoothest gear change, tightest handling outside F3000.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems, but steering wheel squeaks after about 15 miles(!)
Image
They don't get bigger than this! Truly outstanding, it's a sight to behold when it's clean (when)!
Comfort
Bit of a boneshaker, but all-round view is very good.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm should be standard. Silly move by BMW.
Service
No real problems, but spares dept should keep more accessories on site!
