An excellent blend of performance, handling, engineering and build quality/finish and I love the way it drives. This is my 7th BMW purchased new and each one is a subtle improvement over the last one. I always look at and try the competition when it comes to changing but I've yet to find something else that would tempt me away from BMW. It helps to have great service from my local and other BMW dealers.

Superb car with plenty of power and excellent handling. Had the car a while now. Purchased the car as a replacement for my 2007 x type 2.0d se which was sublime on comfort. My expectations on the test drive were that the car would be uncomfortable due to BMW's renowned suspension. However, this was not the case. It's also plenty powerful albeit with the new 2 litre twin power turbo and 8 speed auto. I drove an 2.2 xf with the 8at and it was no where near as good. The gearbox and engine complement each other perfectly. Economy is also good. Do a lot of travelling to the Lake District and usually average 50mpg over the 105 mile run at 62mph. Achieved 56.3 on a run to London. Road tax is also good at £145.00 for a car which can keep up with the likes of focus STs and VXRs. Having owned a VXR, I will also say the power delivery is very smooth and progressive. Mine was a pre release car and was specced up with adaptive lighting, electronic leather sports seats, full park assist with auto park, 3 way split rear seat, Internet, nav pro, enhanced bluetooth to name some. Not many people like the lighter interior of the modern line, but for me it's perfect. Only thing I would change is the top dash colour to black so a black steering wheel could be fitted and not look out of place. The light oyster colour does get dirty quickly. Also looks stunning in sapphire black. Not had any major problems but will list what has been done. 1. You get the halo lights with adaptive lighting. One failed so had a new headlamp unit. 2. Early f30s suffered with some teething problems on the steering. So steering rack was replaced. Both there were done under warranty and very swiftly by the dealership. Even got a free software update when the rack was replaced!

A simply stunning vehicle that is a pleasure to drive. The M Sport finish adds a touch or sportiness and masculinity to the car. The running costs are negligible, £35 a year road tax (first year free), three year warranty (everything but tyres included, even bulbs) and 5 year servicing! Once you own one of these machines you ain't going for any other manufactures!

Best 3 series to date, feels more like a 5 series. Strong diesel engine with amazing economy in eco pro mode. Good handling and great place to be inside. Just a bit too much road noise at speed but tyres could be to blame.

One the best cars that I have owned in all respects. Amazing power and handling but economical for such a powerful engine and drivetrain. Tax and insurance are both very reasonable for what is for me an awesome sports saloon. For a drivers car in this sector I believe this is one of the best on the market, I may struggle to part with this which will be a first for me.

Love this car. Autobox is faultless, very comfortable and economical. On long runs it's easy to achieve 60 - 65 mpg. Plenty of performance when you need it. Cheap to tax only £30 pa. Only fault so far were rusty seat bases (common on all early F30's) However these were replaced under warranty.

I live in the US and I love this car! It is very fast ,I have raced pimped out 2 seaters and won. It may not be as comfortable as other cars but it gets good gas mileage and is fast. I have got it up to 140mph and it just cruses along.

Amazingly frugal if you take it easy. 1500 rpm at 70mph. When necessary it is a real performance machine, extremely quick when you need it to be. An understated car compared to mercs and audis. Comfortable in drive mode, fun in sport mode, but at any point power is available when you want it. 3rd bmw I have had and this is the best yet. The 3 litre straight 6 is the best diesel engine available in my opinion.
