BMW 330d

I test drove the 330D Sport and found that the suspension was a little too stiff, (my wife didn't like it either). we then drove the SE and found the car to be a much nicer drive. The car does 42 to the gallon going back and forth to work ( mainly dual carriageway ) it has more than enough power, I honestly don't think that ( normal people ) would need more power than this. it is very quiet when on the move, although it is a little noisey when first starting up. the quality of the car is second to none, I have had nothing go wrong with it at all, and the build quality inside and out the vehicle appears to be excellent.

The economy is superb - even flat-out on german autobahns it still returns high 30 mpg and nearer 50 mpg in more restrained UK driving, not so important you might say, but it gives the car a very sizeable and useable 5-600 mile range. As for the top speed - well Jenson Button was recently stopped in one in France for doing 143mph! The ...
