Most Helpful Review

Turning heads and taking names, all in a day's drive

Small but powerful easy to handle and go through narrow roads. Less colour options but black looks like a beast. Driver’s seat is so comfortable but it will be hard for people sitting behind because of less leg space. It’s an AMG so don’t expect on mileage but it will give you a great experience. It’s great for daily use and short travel. When compared to pricing it’s a little bit high but you will not be able to get an amazing powerful toy in less price range.

Performance & comfort wise

Best product ever seen here comfort wise cars best experience possible, most expensive and comfort-wise cars to power to power experience BMW is one of the best product ever for experience

My overall experience was good. I will give 5 out of 5

Last month I drove this car approx 100 km. This car gives a good comfort and a good space. Engine performance was excellent according to my experience.. at last time car value for money. Thanks
