BMW 328i Sport Coupe

Advantages: Stylish, powerful, fast, reliable, comfortable, great fun to drive.
Disadvantages: Expensive to run, lack of luggage space, poor fuel consumption.

...This is a review of my BMW 328i Sport Coupe (E36). BMW describe their cars at ?the ultimate driving machines? and with the 328 coupe, BMW certainly does not disappoint. With stylish good looks, breathtaking performance and smooth, precise handling, the 328 coupe is a car that brings a smile to your face every time you drive it. Performance: With BMW?s legendary, smooth 6-cylinder, 2.8 litre engine and 193bhp, the 328 coupe is a pleasure to drive. For those interested in performance figures, 0-60 is quoted at a little over 6 seconds and top speed is limited to 143mph. But those figures don?t tell the entire story. In the 328, power is delivered in such a smooth way and, whilst acceleration is very quick, you don?t realise how quick you are going until you glance down at the speedometer! But that?s not all - the 328 just keeps...

BMW 120D M-Sport

Advantages: Quick, Great Handling, fun and fuel efficient.
Disadvantages: Expensive, Run Flat Tyres, rear leg and boot space.

...I now own a BMW 120D M-Sport and after driving alternatives such as the Audi A3, VW Golf TDI and the Focus TDCI, i came to the conclusions the BMW was perfect for my needs. Out of the three the BMW had the best handling aside from the AUDi's Quattro system which i feel lacked the poise and preciseness a rear wheel car gives you(RWD is also much more fun). The BMW had more grunt than the other cars and is nearly half a second quicker than it's nearest rival (Audi A3). The ride can be crashy on less than smooth roads due to it's Run Flat Tyres which i may add are very expensive and wear out much quicker than standard tyres. They don't add any benefit to the dynamics and handling of the car. Please note Run Flat Tyres are fitted standard. The 120D however, does lack rear space but isn't at all cramped as long as the front driver...

my bmw compact

Advantages: comfort and handling
Disadvantages: cost to run

...A nice man in a white van decided to go into the back of my little Renault Clio and wrote it off, therefore having children, I needed a car pretty quickly, as their school was too far to go by bus or train. A friend that wasn't using his BMW any more said that I could have his. So I test drove it and decided there and then this was the car for me. Price? The price of a BMW 316i compact differs to whether you buy this car new or second hand. The prices range from £14,500 new to £1500 second hand in poor condition. I paid £2,500 for my 1998 BMW from a friend, which was in great condition, however had high mileage. The car I got had a full BMW service history. As it did have a full service, I decided that the price was good for the car. I am sure you can get some great car for about this price if you were buying new, however...

Life with my BMW 320i Sport

Advantages: smart, comfortable, economic on fuel, quick
Disadvantages: A little conservative in looks, expensive to service

...As a new mum, I had to replace my beloved Mercedes SLK 2-seater with the more child-friendly BMW. Obviously the BMW had a lot to measure up to. Some of the key stats then - it is a V6 2000cc engine, which means I get similar brake horse power to the 323i Sport - 170bhp compared to 186 bhp (but you wouldn't notice and it is about £3,000 cheaper). 0-60 in about 8-9 seconds, but more importantly they have discs, on the 17" alloys, all round so brakes 60-0 in about 3 secs. The insurance group is 17, but depending on your circumstances, you might pay from about £600 per year fully comp. It is a saloon and the four doors makes it easy enough to get my baby into the car seat. My first outing in the car proved a comfortable and enjoyable journey luckily. Leather seats and sports steering wheel made me feel at home. The steering wheel...

BMW318iSE

Advantages: A prestigous car giving a feeling of safety and comfort. d
Disadvantages: Latest models not as well finished off as the earlier ones.

...light flimsy material, and the paint finish has deteriorated, again this can be detected in the inner boot lid, bonnet etc. We especially liked the seating material on the previous models we had, our new one has the 'sports' type material, which no doubt weighs less. All in all we do like the BMW, the service departments at the dealerships are the most modern, and the personell are trained to the highest standards in both customer and care care, they are attentive to your every concern....

2001 BMW 330i SPORT M-Tech

Advantages: its amazing
Disadvantages: you spend to much time in it

...I have just purcahsed a BMW 330i sport M-tech and its awesome. First the outside subtle sports detailing mean you stand out from the crowd and there are plenty of 3 series beemers around these days. If you want second takes then this is the model for you. Mine is a 2002 in silver. Once you get over the gorgeous flared arches and the simple boot spoiler coupled with the agressive looking fornt you open the door. With the M-tech you step over the M badged door sill protectors and jump into gorgeous black leather sports seats. The door closes with and executive rasp as the air is squashed. Once aboard you feel like you are in control the cockpit design means everything is aimed at pleasing one person, the driver. The finish is impecable with carbon fibre everywhere and simple delecate touches. A twist of the key fires the 3Ltr...

Island of Sporting Desire

Advantages: Three or four really great sporting games
Disadvantages: The need to 'calibrate' Wii Remote

...Let the games Begin... As a game which came free with the Wii console, 'Wii Sports' had little to prove - a title designed to show off the ingenious controls of the new machine, which at times meant that it felt like a bit of a glorified tech-demo. The sequel 'Wii Sports Resort' is tied in with the release of MotionPlus - the little white box that plugs into the bottom of the Wii controller, offering much more accuracy and finesse of controls - but does the game make the most of the new technology, or is it a missed opportunity? Set on the tropical island of 'Wuhu', Sports Resort allows you to compete in twelve different sporting disciplines, each one designed to push your skill and co-ordination to the max. In this review, I'll take a look at each of the sports, whilst briefly explaining and summarising my feelings towards them...

Review of Wii Sports Resort (Wii)

BMW 325i convertable

Advantages: Fair price, electric roof, leather interior, CD player and, of course 'blindingly rapid'.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive parts, can tend to guzzle petrol depending on the speed.

...Two years ago my brother was serching for a car which had class, good looks, gave a good performance, a soft-top and space for his golf clubs. He found a mattalic purple BMW 325i convertable which gave him everything above. The only thing it didn't give him was the good performance - instead it's performance was excellent. The soft-top folded back itself - what would you expect? The car came with black leather interior, a CD player, alloy wheels, a standard BMW alarm system and lots more. Insurance can obviously be high for a quality motor as with the BMW 325i. If anyone was going to buy this car my advice to them would be that: *BMW parts can be expensive, although replica parts are available at a fraction of the cost. *It may be necessary to buy a wind-breaker, (which breaks the sometimes violent wind when the roof is down...

Review of BMW 318i

BMW Sporty Diesel with Low Running Costs

Advantages: Good Resale value, sporty, comfortable, sleek
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 report it is amazingly similar to drive. The pedals are offset to the right slightly but this feels quite natural, the, the brakes are exellent, and the clutch is fairly light but has quite a long travel which I find takes a while to get used to...
