Most Helpful Review

Outstanding service

The experience was outstanding and everything was as expected. The best part of it was the comfortable spacing and stylish look. Whatever it is, after driving it, life feels different much in the sense of betterment and satisfaction, presence.

The cle cab

The buying experience was good but the showroom took an extra week for the paperwork, the driving experience is good but could be better, the looks of the car are quite impressive and the performance is very bad compared to the 340i and this car cost 36lakhs more and now I feel why I didn't go for the 340i. This car has very low mileage and too much maintenance, the interior is luxurious but gets dirty so often that this is a headache the car is OK not so extraordinary.
