This is the best car I have ever owned. I wanted an upright driving position for my wife who has difficulties getting in and out of vehicles, but still something with a bit of performance and handling. This car has them in spadeloads! The twin turbo diesel engine just pulls and pulls and the torque is amazing. The car had its sports suspension deleted, which a lot of BMW garages do these days, and with proper (not run flat) tyres, the roadholding is superb.
