Much better put together than the last version.

Interior styling is much better though not a fan of the exterior.

So long as your happy with it, thats all that matters though

My brother has a 06 old shape S, I think they are quite good more a small BMW than performance hatch but one car I would consider if I didn't have 3.5 kids!

They still have that horrible speedometer sticking out in the middle though. If you can figure out how to get the automatic lights to work, then let me know.



PS. Which muppet at BMW decided that the mirror de-mister should only come on at 3 degrees C? She needs a lobotomy.

You can always have the digital speedometer on the rev counter.

Thanks. I worked that one out but self-important design just winds me up, of which this is a classic example serving no useful purpose other than to distract the driver.
