A Great Investment — one of the bast casr built. i cant affored a m3, but this car makes up for that. raw power from a 3 litre straight six n/a. dont get any better than that, much more affordable than a m3. i recently took it rgmotorsport donr a stage 1.boosted it to 160kw on the wheels , giving it that exra kick.

Great Car — This car is very fun to drive around in. It handles well and rides smooth. The interior is black and the paint color is silver. Very fuel efficient. Has plenty of extras and like the push button start and stop.

Good All Rounder — Good handling, quick pick up for a diesel. Rapid between 30-70. Build quality is solid. Fancy getting a new set of wheels and maybe an ecu remap, oh and maybe some lower suspension. Still get 40 mpg combined fuel consumption

Average Only...not The Best Car But Its Good For Every Used — average car, performance is ok, build quality is so so...used a lots of cheap plastic, appearance is ok, cost of ownership...gas mileage 9.8/100km, maintenance very high...but is very fun to drive...steering quit accurate and precise.

It's A Good Car, It's My Dad's, But I Can Tell That It Drives Smoothly — The car has a great build and is pretty solid. It hugs the road, and it has great acceleration. It averages 27 miles to the gallon so gas won't be too much. The exterior paint job is wonderful (Monaco Blue). Overall I'd say this is an extremely fun car to drive.

Bmw Cars Rocks!! — One of my best cars ever. I customized it my self with AC Schnitzer front, rear, wheels etc etc Also installed a beast muffler system from Remus together with an open air filter, it sounded like a tuned V8 or Motorbike :) But now it's sold for a brand new BMW 320d Touring which will get 19 inch Vertini Hennessey wheels and be tuned up to 250 hp and 500 Nm torque!!
