    ooh, an excuse to post pic of mine 🙂

    Seems de rigueur to photo your car by a gate 🙂

    Bad bits – The steering has very little feel,

    have to agree with that, came from a 13 year old 323 coupe and really miss feeling where the wheels are pointed 🙂

    Otherwise no complaints

    I’m currently running a 2013 330d x drive Touring having previously had a 2006 320d. I can only assume posters complaining about the ride quality in the 3 series have driven the pre 2013 models which I admit were a bit firm. That and it being a bit on the small side were my only complaints about the car. Now they’ve nailed the suspension tuning and its significantly bigger (same size as an old 5 series) I can’t fault it except for BMW gouging on the options.

    The servotronic or sports steering options sort that. Iirc servotronic is a £180 option.

    Do they have the open-rear-glass-only option so you can drop stuff into it and pile in shopping without it falling out?

    Its a feature I love on my 5 series and would like to keep on any future cars (I have a 2004 5 series so its old now!)

    Yes the 3 series Touring has the “Waitrose window” as standard.

    well probably, but last one lasted nearly 14 years and 160K miles, so may be a while 🙂

    Great looking car Funkydunk.

    As a man being forced to wait until Nursery ends in 2 years until I can get a new one, I hate this thread 🙁
