BMW 3-Series Coupe m sport 2008
This 320 M Sport is the second BMW I have owned. My first was a 2055 5-Series, which was a very good family car. As I was looking for something smaller, but still with the BMW refinement we decided to go for the coupe. This car has a great driving position and styling. The M Sport delivers excellent acceleration and the standard equipment level is better than expected. Now for the one and only down side of most BMWs; RUNFLAT tyres give a hard and bumpy ride. They are also real expensive if you believe what BMW say about the tyre being unrepairable after a puncture, but I would still buy another of Germany’s finest cars.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 325d se 2008
I part exchanged my X3 for this 325d se, which uses less fuel, 47mpg against 23.5mpg and gives a softer ride. More importantly though this is a powerful machine with superb handling and good looks that are understated. I’m extremely impressed so far, but still getting my head around all the gizmos!

BMW 3-Series Coupe 2008
After taking delivery of my shiny BMW 320 Coupe, 9 weeks later it was back at the dealers neading a whole new automatic gearbox!! BMW UK didnt have the parts so I had to wait 3 weeks for it to arrive from Germany. I always thought that there was something wrong with the car as whenever I started it the whole thing would shake. It broke down 5 times in 18 months. It had all but one of the injectors replaced. The guy at the service desk at the dealers used to hide whenever he saw me heading towards him & the car being on the back of a recovery vehicle. It was a fab looking car but sadly I will never have another one EVER especially after it broke down yet again in the pouring rain & left me standing a the side of a busy trunk road for 40mins while BMW came out to rescue me again. It has now been returned to the lease company. Now looking at a Merc, seeing as I had one on loan while my BMW was being repaired.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320d M Sport Auto 2008
I bought the car with 2,200 miles on it and 3months old. It has Black exterior, Black leather interior and M Sport 19" wheels. I’ve had it over a year now and its done 18,000 miles and I’ve loved every mile of it!! High in comfort, fuel consumption and overall driving pleasure. I did consider the Audi A5 but preferred the 3 Series Coupe due to its sporty looks and uncomplicated dashboard. Still think it looks great and it drives like new; excellent road holding and poise. The few things I dont like are the difficulty getting in and out of it, mainly in tight car parks and the location of the drinks holders are ridiculous. Otherwise, I’m over the moon with this car and cannot recommend it highly enough. I did test drive the 320i but found it a bit ’gutless’, whereas the diesel has just enough power. Its having its first service next week and have experienced really good ’care’ from Specialist Cars in Tring, Hertfordshire.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 335i M Sport 2008
Just taken delivery and it’s awesome. Superb build quality, everything works perfectly, no rattles or creaks. Power delivery is stunning with no turbo lag, yet to test the handling as it’s always raining!

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320i M-Sport 2008
I have just taken delivery of this car and I am over the moon with all aspects of it. I previously owned a Jaguar X-Type which now seems so old fashioned up against the BMW. What surprised me was how eco friendly the BMW have become with great fuel figures low road tax and servicing every 15,000 miles. I bought it because I loved the look of it and the drive but to find it eco friendly was a big bonus. It handles like it is on a rail and even with low sports suspension the ride is very good. I ordered mine in Le Mans Blue with cream leather and a walnut dash because that was the things I liked about the Jaguar. I was going for the XF but it was not not for me when I sat in it.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320CD Automatic 2008
I have had 3-series for over twenty years now and I have to say based on overall performance, comfort and design this is the best. It is the first automatic I have had and it is an absolute treat to drive. I am getting 42-44mpg in town and urban driving and yet it is still powerful and I am now so glad I didn’t go for the 330 or 335 versions. I think the design of the interior is brilliant and by far the best I’ve come across. I had the professional Sat Nav fitted and it makes the whole i-drive experience that much better with the split-screen. I can also thoroughly recommend the pro-logic hi fi which makes it hard to get out of the car! The only reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is that the ride on the run-flat tyres is a bit hard although you do get used to it.
