BMW 3-Series Coupe (2006-) Review

Category: Affordable Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the BMW 3-Series Coupe (2006-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Powerful, smooth engines, great fun to drive, full four-seat practicality, the can't-go-wrong option.

Drawbacks

Bit dull to look at, arrogant image, increasingly the default choice in the sector and thus not particularly exclusive.

Verdict

The 3-Series Coupe is every bit as good as predicted - but perhaps a little bit too predictable.

Running Costs4 out of 5

Insurance won't be super-cheap, but running costs will be contained by relatively low fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, thus low-ish company car tax bandings. The Coupe's light weight keeps it down to 29.7mpg from the 335i, good for such a quick car.
