BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer Diesel 216d (A) Review
The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer Diesel offers more space and seats than its Active Tourer sibling but retains all the driving dynamics of the latter that we love.

Tons of sensors problem `
This car has tons of sensor issues after 2 weeks of ownership. The kick sensor is highly unstable and the boot door will open or close on itself although the 2 feets are firmly on the ground while loading grocery bags into the boot. On few occasions the boot door hit my wife's head while she was loading grocery bags into the boot. Had complained to PML but was asked to switched off the sensors instead as they can only reset the software but the problem still persists. Seems like I have gotten myself a lemon!

The ultimate family car `
The ultimate family car for families, especially those with more than 1 kid! The car is a notch above the rest mainky because of the BMW CONNECTED DRIVE functions including satnav, remote control of car lock/blower/lights etc. You can even talk to a convierge who can help you just as if you were at a hotel. Collision warning/lane departure are helpful. Design is stylish with nice curves even though it is an MPV. Engine feels powerful. Spacious enough to place 2 child seats in middle row and still have space for an adult in the middle. Good drive. Afterall, its a BMW!

Living up to the tag-line of the "Ultimate Driving Machine" in BMW's 1... `
I was a bit of a skeptic when BMW first succumbed to peer pressure to develop a compact MPV that made huge $ for brands like VW, Citroen, Renault and of course the many Jap models (the 7-seater kind, mind you!). Having driven and owned a BMW sedan before, there were already expectations that I would have brought to viewing it as I sold my fuel hungry ride for a fuel sipping one. Having seen what the French had to offer for Compact MPVs, I was impressed. The overall styling was and is handsome in its own right (obviously in comparison with other MPVs out there). It's evergreen styling and spot-on kidney grills are hallmarks of a Bimmer. While the interior is very well built and fitted with quality fittings and leather, the cockpit is a familiar sight. So no surprises there as you jump from 1 model to another - everything feels right there! As it is a 5+2 compact MPV, families needing a full-time one shouldn't be even considering this. So I won't be comparing it to the Odysseys and Wishes out there. However, it is still versatile with one-touch button to fold the 2nd row seats and a quick lever to fold the 3rd row if you need the extra space. Otherwise ferrying small people (aka KIDS!!) are recommended for the last row and nothing more than a short jiffy if you need to squeeze any adults on the last row. Power from the 3-cyl Diesel engine is impressive with plenty of torque delivering respectable amount of pull at full-load! It definitely didn't feel sluggish and I must say I'm impressed by this. It's no slouch in overtaking along highways so I must say the pocket-size Turbo-Diesel surprises me! And what surprises me further is that it's front wheel drive (also 1st for BMW!) was very impressive in the handling dept! Some obvious engine clatter, from the outside, which is expected but one can use a sound proofing material under bonnet to reduce a few decibels down (not much but it helps!). Inside the car, its minimal and the usual above-average stock sound system does the job to drown it out. Overall, what gave in on my decision to get this car ultimately boiled down to the extended warranty & services assurances, higher resale value in the future and the "Little" Prestige in driving this Bavarian MPV!

My 1st BMW - Something which I didn't even dream of! `
Review Having collected this car in Nov'16. I would say it's an excellent car, spacious for front and middle row and superby sound system. It was an eye turner whenever I parked the vehicle and people would admire and look at it. I first saw it at Forum Carpark last year and yes, i got it when the deal(Good deal) was too good to be missed. Plus I was having problem with my old XC90. But there are still some drawbacks. But I would still recommend this car to family with kids/elderly.
