3 out of 5 stars

For Great to drive; space inside for four

Avoid… 335i M Sport Highline

1. It’s stunning to drive, with amazing grip and has great balance while cornering. The ride is on the firm side, however.
2. There’s enough legroom for four adults, but the sloping roofline does impinge on rear headroom – those over six-foot will suffer.
3. In line with the rest of the 3 Series range, some models reduced their emissions with engine stop-start systems making them slightly cleaner and, in most cases, cheaper to tax.
4. Rattles and squeaks are the most common issue, with the dashboard and door pillars a weakness. Dealers are able to fix, but it’s not always straightforward.
5. The run-flat tyres not only provide a less than perfect ride, but they're also expensive to replace. Some owners have resorted to fitting smaller wheels and standard tyres.
