BMW love it or hate it...

I have had BMW previously, the E36 shape. The E46 Coupe 318 is a different animal altogether. I felt a little regret at first as I had traded in my Mondeo TDCi and began to see my wallet get thinner as I visited the petrol station a lot more frequently...
The thing is theyre not about economy, theyre about driving. At first I was getting it up into 5th quicker than a London Cabby and wasn't appreciating the driving machine.
Once I had got over this I began to drive it as it should be driven, through the gears.
For a 1.9 it's not actually too bad, it's never going to return diesel economy and once I got over this I began to enjoy driving it more and more.
It looks fantastic, there's something about that BMW badge that sets it apart from "ordinary cars".
Downside, 2 doors can begin to hang and not close crisply. There's also the worry in the back of your mind of "what if it goes wrong..!!"
But all in all, a fantastic drive and a cut above normal cars.
Love it or hate it...

I love it.
