Powerful, smooth engines, great fun to drive, full four-seat practicality, the can't-go-wrong option.
Bit dull to look at, arrogant image, increasingly the default choice in the sector and thus not particularly exclusive.
The 3-Series Coupe is every bit as good as predicted - but perhaps a little bit too predictable.





Fit and finish of the 3-Series family is generally excellent and these cars usually prove to be very reliable indeed - 3-Series with mileages of 200,000-plus are very common on the used market, and still run sweetly.
There's some complex electronic kit on this Coupe, though, with new items such as the optional adaptive headlights which automatically switches the main beam on/off, so we'll hold off from the full five stars until this has been fully tried and tested in real life.
