Fuel Economy, Performance, Build quality, Comfort
Cost of extras, handling.
This BMW 3 Series Sports Saloon is the latest 330D with 200bhp and incredible torque, performance is amazing particulary 40mph onwards, refinement is also superb especially once warmed up it even sounds sporty with a great V6 growl. No matter how hard you drive this car it'll always return at least 30mpg and if your sensible 35 up to 45mpg which adds up to 400+ miles per tank. Handling is great in everyday use but if you want to be more enthusiastic it suffers from a little to much body roll and the nose will run wide due to the extra weight diesel engines possess.
Build quality is very impressive everything is just so tight, chalk and cheese compared to every other car I've owned.
Comfort and saftey are also very well appointed no matter what distance your travelling you'll always arrive as fresh as when you left.
Obviously you get what you pay for with BMW's which is a very high quality vehicle one of which I'm incredibly impressed with, I just wish all the extra goodies weren't so expensive you pay enough for the car as it is.
Would I buy another BMW in the future? Just you try and stop me.
