BMW 320d Reviews

I ordered a 320D SE 1998cc 2002 model from my local BMW dealer in October 2001 for delivery in December 2001.

However all that has disappeared.This car is a complete dog when you consider what it costs.I have covered only 10000 miles so far.But have had problems with ...  Read the complete review
