Ride and Handling. BMW's new E46 118 bhp engine sounds and performs superb.
This appears to be the car of choice for those who like to run a key down the side.
I had the previous BMW 3 series (318i E36) which was on sports suspension and was better handling than the updated model. However, I like the refined ride which has improved tremendously. Also, the engine sounds and performs so much better. This car is a must to testdrive. The latest model now has clear indicators and a few extras BMW introduced to avoid dropping their prices last summer.
The car exudes quality but is still overpriced in the UK.
