Hmm. The Teiegraph said soon after launch
...unless you really want your seven-seater to wear a BMW badge there are more practical options that will cost you far less, such as the Vauxhall Zafira...
I don't, of course, want a seven-seater at all. But this one didn't make me cry as I walked out to drive it to work this morning.
Beestling Major tried the second row last night and pronounced it habitable, once he'd found a way to unclip the plastic tables. But the folded third row still steals valuable height from what would otherwise be a good load area. And the petrol 220i looks fast on paper - 190hp, 7.7s - but doesn't feel as lively as the diesel LEC, which has a numerical disadvantage of 20hp and 200kg. I suspect a 220d (400Nm, like the LEC, against 280) would work better, even if it might sound rougher.
