General comments?
Great car. Lovely to drive and a joy when it comes to country lanes. Better than our Merc. Now we have we have bought another BMW which will be on our driveway in March. the sound of the 2.0 (150) straight six was fab and sounds like heaven. The car is quicker with the automatic box than our Merc (even though it has more horses — 163). The BMW is the best car I've ever owned.
