Most Helpful Review

Driving is amazing

Had to buy it from Faridabad because Bird Automotive was getting renovated in Gurgaon. Driving is amazing, there is a lot of acceleration, and the top speed is good. Looks amazing, and we have skyscraper grey. Servicing is good and takes a couple of hours. Much better car than the Mercedes C-Class or the Audi A4.

Best car

My best car, BMW M340i, best power performance like a drift car love this car looks killer, mileage best value for money. Audi no only BMW. Best service BMW service over price, but good.
