BMW is a fantastic brand to be associated with. It has got excellent road presence as well. If you have a budget of 45 - 50L then this one should has to be one of the options. I particularly like the agile handling of the car. Of course, BMW meaning performance being the FOCUS. Great pick up making 0-100 in just over 9 secs (though company claims 8.2secs). Also, has positive answers for the famous Indian questions like - Kitna Deti Hai? It doesn’t feel it’s size when driving it.
It is great car if you are the driver and don’t like being driven around. The rear bench is slightly lower and the windows are on the higher side leaving you claustrophobic when seating in the back. There is a decent under thigh support but when compared with the competition does look fairly ordinary.
The interiors feel great and especially beige does add to the overall richness of the dashboard. The i-Drive does need a bit of getting used to but is very convenient. The exterior looks smashing especially the corona rings (with day time running lights). The boot space is decent.The ride is bumpy which is thanks to the run flat tyres.
Conclusion - Go for it only if is going to be self driven or if you want BMW in any case!!
