Well i have had the car over a month now and the reasults aren't good. Never owned a bmw before this and im hugely dissapointed tbh. I know its not an m3 or m5 but i was expecting so much more. Only thing it has going really is comfort and the build quality. gearbox is shockingly awful 1st gear is hopeless in it, engine isn't the greatest but not bad in 3rd and 4th gear. The volume on the stereo has a mind of its own,not good when it decides full volume is needed when it see's fit so my radio stays off most of the time. Never thought id say i regret getting rid of my renault for this. Its an 02 520i sports btw, think i wasnt ready for this type of car yet.
