General comments?
I bought this car to boost my business as a driving school.
The car itself looks great and drives well. The interior looks funky and all my pupils have commented on how good the car looks and drives.
However it appears it is not built strong enough to cope with a bit of abuse from learner drivers.
I have had 3 new clutches in this car. The first after 20,000 miles, then after 22,000 miles and now after 34,000 miles.
The dealers are polite and try to be helpful but seem unable to accept there is a problem with the car and not mine or my pupils driving.
Considering the car is built by BMW it is very poor.
