Depreciation is good news as it holds its money well
Space for two long legged lovelies (or uglies) in the back
Gripes
Can be costly to insure, so investigate before you fall in love with it
Some controls can be fiddly to use whilst on the move
You may hate the Footballer's Wife association
Drive Brilliant, no matter what you ask of it. Feels like it's stuck to the road – a solid ride that will make you love driving
Reliability The sort of car that you will see being driven around twenty years from now. No short term worries about dependability
Inside Feels like it's an expensive car. Duh – it is. But it's the little things like quality soft materials and super-comfortable seats that make you realise you were right to splurge
Space Always a bonus when you can get a couple of adults in the back without a squeeze
Safety Yes, it's a soft top, but a secure one. There are special bars that will pop up in the event of a crash and there are front and side airbags too
Standards and extras You can expect a Beemer to come with a nice level of equipment and the 3 Series does not disappoint
