“A solid car and a joy to drive, But the engine is slightly underpowered for the size and weight of my 320i. My next car will be a 2.5 petrol or 2.0 diesel model.”

“It's a 335d coupe and as a package it's amazing! I got out of a TVR to get this and obviously whilst they are poles apart in terms of concept the BM seems every bit as pokey as my old Griffith. In summary, a great car with astonishing economy/performance.”

“Comfortable, quiet and stable on the motorway; as much performance as anyone needs in this country; beautifully built; tasteful interior; low CO2 and hence tax; very economical; the Tourer has space for my dog or my son's drum kit; and it's great fun to drive as it handles so well. The only downside is that it is so easy to drive fast that my favourite roads are no longer challenging (without doing licence-threatening speeds!)”

“I think mine is just a bad one as I had a similar model before and it was fantastic. Poor service from the dealer hasn't helped.”

“A pleasant car but not perfect. German arrogance prevents the minor detail that needs to be corrected from being done in a timely manner, e.g. boot cover not completely covering the back edge; power socket in central console not usable without leaving lid open plus miscellaneous other niggles.”

“Great car, but with the worst seats and the worst customer service. EDIT: now sorted to my complete satisfaction.”

“Very good car. Comfortable, reliable, plenty of power. However, luggage space is poor. No mechanical problems in 30k miles - just the ashtray which still hasn't been fixed.”

“Car was only replaced recently - I previously had the 330D Touring which was magnificent.”
