 ian betsho's recommendation | |
Quality overall build, well put together cabin, superb refined engine, be it a 318.
Very good looking car.
Heavy accelarator, difficult to drive in slow moving traffic, however the most disturbing worry is the poor active stability control in the wet.
Overall this BMW 3 Series 318i E46 Saloon has not put me off buying a 3 series, but thay are not as good as first thought.
The traction control was without doubt the biggest let down, especiallly the fact that it is a safety device.
The only other worry is value for money, a little over priced even when used.
