Excellent car very smooth drive have had E46 saloon and the m sport coupe is in a different league to drive! Also really good on diesel and quite powerful car. In my opinion its a must have car!! only downfall is the coupes can be quite pricey to buy but is defiantly worth the money great car!

this is a reasonable car for driving to the shops in. I enjoyed this car as a run around car until I bought the new 911 high spec. the insurance for me wasn't a problem and for my 17 year old son, very cheap indeed.

have 1999 318se love this car. never let me down. have it 5yrs now and no expensive repairs except ball joint on front weels. cant just replace the joints, whole wish bone has to be replaced. at £90 each their not to bad.most comfortable car i`ve ever driven. only thing is i`l have to replace it with another bmw when the time comes. i dont think i could be happy driving anything else. i`m happy with mileage i get to. about 40 to 45 to the gallon if driven with manners. you cant put a cost on comfort you get on a long drive. no more back pain.

I find the BMW 3 series a great drivers car ,yet very refined and quiet on all road surfaces I have driven a lot of 3 series models E30 ,E36 ,E46 and E90 and they all have the same quality feel about them ,you feel you are in car above the ordinary , they have all been very reliable but have had little problems but nothing that would put me buying another BMW!

bought my 530d 6months ago its a 06, it realy is the best car i have ever owned, it will do 29/30mpg on avg, on motorway around 45/50mpg. running cost is abit more than your everyday vectra ect, but you dont get vectras like this, its like floting down roads and not driving,but in corners its a go kart!! mates of mine have 04/05 530s the did have the odd oil leek but its always a easy fix, if you dont mind paying extra tax,service,and 19inch tyres arnt cheep!! then get 1 you will not regret it, if you have the few extra £££s it takes to keep them,

Of course yoy will say this car is a piece of shit if you buy a 2000,manual,petrol
BUT DRIVE ONE OF THESE AND ITS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY
Voted best in its class, and rightly so.
An absolute pleasure to own and drive,with more than enough power to satisfy anyone(AND ITS DEISEL)
Running costs obviously a little higher than most cars, but hey,what do you expect from a BMW 3 litre turbo deisel.
All in all a great car with a bullet proof engine that will be the envy of all your friends!

This is a fantastic car, great economy, practical and a pleasure to drive! With combined driving I consistently get 50 mpg on every tank, it doesn't feel like a big estate to drive in fact I don't think you could tell it apart from the saloon. As with all new bmws I would recommend non run flats, I have changed all 4 tyres and it rides much better. My car has over 100 k on the clock now and hasn't missed a beat, BMW condition based service schedule of every 15-20k should be ignored in my opinion, I change oil and filters every 10k and believe the car is much better for it.

iv owned my e39 now for just over 6 months iv done 6kmiles in it this is my 2nd bmw my first being a 4 cylinder ,il start by sayng that bmw's should only be sold in 6 cyl's there so much better. theres 120k on my car with a full bmwsh when i bought it, but the first thing i done when i purchased it was change the whole cooling system rad,water pump,belts and coolant i recommend changing the lot if it has not been done already.i get around 400 miles to a tank 70%city 30% motorway which im very happy with considering its a 1.6 ton car with a 2,5 I6 engine around the city i average 25mpg and on the motorway 30 and up. the handling is very good on the sport it really whips round the backroads and the roar from the engine at high revs is amazing overall id rate the e39 4.5 out of 5 i hope this review is of use to people

I have found the 1 series to be alot more fun & reliable than I expected it to have been.
BMW have definitely created a fun, reliable, easy to run car which gives great satisfaction! Definitely sticking with BMW next time! LOVE THIS CAR!!

The 5 series is a great example of a big German saloon at its best, fantastic build quality, reliable, powerful and so smooth! The 2.5 litre inline 6 has to be one of the best engines ever built, linear power delivery and a rasping sound higher up the rev range, on a cruise or driven sensibly you won't hear a peep, almost eerily quiet. With combined driving I average around 34 mpg which is great for a big petrol saloon like this.

There are times where I'd prefer more power and torque low down so for that reason and budget permitting I would recommend the 525 or 530.

Entry level BMW but with excellent handling and responsive manual gearbox the car is well balanced and fun to drive. Running costs are excellent, £30 a year to tax and 50+mpg for the diesel engine. The only issue is the initial outlay compared to it's greatest rival VW Golf.
