2000 BMW 3-Series

What can you say about BMW that hasn’t already been said before? It’s the ultimate driving machine they say, and they’re right. You just feel completely connected to the car, and the road, in a BMW. Despite the marquee, it’s not the most comfortable car on the planet (for the driver anyway). BMW claim the reason for this is that firm seats keep the driver’s attention at its peak. It’s not uncomfortable, but don’t expect a 4 wheeled sofa for your thirty grand.

It’s a great drive, with the TLC package service costs are zero, and I’ve never yet come across a BMW dealer or service center that didn’t put customer care and satisfaction at the top of their list of priorities. If you can afford one, get it. Just be careful with getting a used one that it hasn’t been thrashed to pieces by a boy racer.
