Some of the interior materials are a little cheap and plasticky, but I really like the style and design, both inside and out.
The rain channels on the roof do not work very well, annoyingly, water from the roof runs into the car if you have the window open (or sometimes in the wet when you go to open the door as the window drops half an inch and water on the guttering drops into the car). I have had a problem in the frost when the windows froze shut and I could not get the door open - I put some grease around the window edge to cure the problem.
The rear ride quality is quite jiggly, like the tyres are over-inflated, I did not notice that on the 35i I test drove (mine is the 30i and has different size tyres).
The Parking sensors are a little slow to react. I found this out when I bumped into a wall - the first thing to make contact was the nose at the top of the grills, that is now subsequently pitted ! I suppose you may argue that that is part of the bumper !
The engine (oil) seems to take a long time to warm up.
Other than those minor niggles and the fact that the product + extras is quite expensive, it is an excellent car and overall I am very pleased with it.

Really good fun to drive, alot of cobbled streets around here that turn it into a boneshaker but it still keeps going. Visiting the in laws is now a joy as they live in the middle of the nowhere with miles of deserted country roads needing to be navigated to reach them, a bit of sunshine, top down and the only downside of the journey is that I can't hear the wife very well..... in short love it and will definately replace with the new model next year. Now if only they would do a similar scheme for the wife.

I love my car - I used to think bmw drivers were very arrogant and inconsiderate. I suspect I am now !
