Superb Wagon

Completely in love with this. Bought it at 2 years old with 28.000 miles on the clock (2 owners, Full BMW Service history).

It was to be added to my fleet of taxis in my family run taxi business.

I have to say, the cars all round capabilities impress me so much. It is fast, frugal (58mpg), practical, comfy and reliable.
As you would expect with a BMW the drive and driving position is spot on.

The interior (whilst not the most exciting) is extremely well built and a lovely place to be. Glad I opted for one with iDrive as I think it looks more modern than without the screen.
TheiDrive was great and I liked it and many of its useful features and it ran smoothly.

Other than iDrive my only other option is heated seats and it’s an option which pays off in the cold British winter.

Reliability: I owned the car for many years and it was absolutely faultless (as with all my BMWs). Over years I took the car from 28.000 to 195,000 miles in that time the car recieved the hand brake adjusting and SRS Air Big light fixing other than that has been trouble free.

To sum the 3 Series up, its a great all rounder.

Not my first BMW taxi, and definitely wasn’t my last.
