Member1608
Handling
Excellent handling skills, like cornering on rails.
Safety & braking
Vehicle stops in the shortest distance I have seen.I have been teaching law enforcement driving for over 14 years.As for safety, the predecessor to this vehicle was totaled when I was stopped on the freeway and was hit at 65 mph. I was the only 1 not hurt
Powertrain performance
Rapid response when stepping on the throttle, from a stop or on the freeway
Reliability & durability
No issues except the battery, but in the extreme Arizona heat, it is to be expected.
Brand reputation & image
BMW has a solid reputation for designing and engineering a quaility vehicle.
Rear seat room & comfort
A little tight for taller adults.
Price or payments
Pricey for us poor public servants.
Discounts & incentives
Difficult to negotiate big discounts. Was told by severall dealers, they flat out do not negotiate.
Cargo capacity
Cargo area is acceptable, but not a thing extra. I would never tow anything with this car, it might be capable, but who would buy one for towing.
