Advantages
- Handling is exceptional with perfect weight distribution and rear-wheel drive dynamics that make every journey engaging.
- Engine range is impressive from efficient four-cylinders to powerful six-cylinder units, all refined and responsive.
- Interior feels genuinely luxurious with high-quality materials, ambient lighting, and superb build quality throughout.
- Technology is cutting-edge with iDrive 7.0 offering intuitive control, digital displays, and advanced driver assistance features.
- The rear-wheel drive character delivers that distinctive BMW driving experience with excellent balance and poise.
Pay Attention
- Premium unleaded fuel is required for most engines which adds to the already high running costs.
- Options list is extensive and expensive - the base price is just the starting point for a well-equipped car.
- M Sport suspension is quite firm and can feel harsh on UK roads, the standard setup is more comfortable.
- Rear legroom is only adequate rather than generous, not as spacious as some rivals like the Mercedes C-Class.
- Touchscreen functionality removed in favor of iDrive controller which some find less intuitive.
