    5 Stars A cracker of a car Review with images 01/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Handles well, comfortable, reliable, looks great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Miniscule boot

    My current car is a BMW 320, it is (apparently) a D SE model and was first registered in 2002. This car is an automatic and (again, apparently) is in the saloon style, we've owned it for around six months now and although I've never had any leanings towards BMW I do think this car is a cracker. I wasn't impressed when Mark chose it, with four children I was hankering after a seven-seater car, but from the very first time I drove it I felt comfortable - surprising even myself as I'm not a very confident driver, especially in new (to me) cars. Can I just place a quick disclaimer here. As will no ... more

    5 Stars New facelifted 320D 1998cc 2002 model 06/03/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Performance, MPG, Quailty

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rear cabin space, Small boot

    I ordered a 320D SE 1998cc 2002 model from my local BMW dealer in October 2001 for delivery in December 2001. I was impressed with the dealer (Dick Lovett), as the sales guy was not at all pushy but allowed me to take my time looking over the car and responded well to questions I raised. The first test drive I had was with the sales guy and lasted around 40 minutes, he then arranged for me to have the car for the whole day that weekend. This whole day test drive was excellent and really let me get know the car without any sales person around, and after that I was hooked and continue to ... more

    5 Stars My first diesel and was pleasantly surprise! 10/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fuel economy is brilliant,over taking power great.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit of turbo lag,and cabin vibration

    This is my first diesel car. I didnt know what to expect! The car is one year old,i never buy new always nearly new. That way you will get the benefit of all the optional extras plus any depriciation that occurred. My 320d SE Touring came with leather,rain sensor,xenon light,automatic ,6 cd and headlight washer. All these options cost around £4000,which would have boosted a new car price to around £29,000! I brought it for £22,950. A saving of nearly £6000. The automatic does slow the car down abit,but if you switch it to the steptonic mode it really goes. I was amazed at the mid range power ... more

    5 Stars BMW Sporty Diesel with Low Running Costs 18/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Resale value, sporty, comfortable, sleek

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Feels same as a much older model.

    I bought a 2004 model 320DSE recently and am pleased to report it is a nice executive car. The 320D range start with a basic model then the ES then the SE and then of course the Mtec Sport. The level of goodies you get with the car go up with each model but they all driver the same apart from the sports suspension on the Mtec. I decided the Se was probably the best value for myself with Climate control, electric windows , 6 speed manual gearbox, electric windows all round, and cd player advantages over the ES. This is the second BMW I have owned. the first being a 316 made in 92, and I must ... more

    2 Stars 320d - Potentially expensive failure 30/05/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Preformance, Economy, choice of trim, extras

    Disadvantages Disadvantages reliability - Expensive turbo failure, Rear Seat Space, Boot Space

    This is my first BMW, and I am sorry to say my last. The 320d has a reputation for turbo failure, which I believe applies only to pre July 2003 models. This failure can happen at any time regardless of service history and so cannot be predicted or circumvented and is a widely publicised failure amongst 320d owners on the internet!. The cost of repairing this vary between £2000 - £3000 and is not something which I would expect from a name like BMW. Other drawbacks include driver comfort, which is virtually non existant, after 15 mins in the drivers seat you rapidly experience another feature of ... more
