About this car in Antwerp

Antwerp is a city where appearances count: the diamond trade around the station, the fashion houses, the restaurants of Het Zuid. An M3 Competition in Tanzanite Blue fits that mood, a four-door saloon in a colour that reads differently in every light, and yet nobody will mistake it for showing off the way a supercar would.

Before you drive in, register the car online for the low-emission zone; it is a free formality, but forgetting it brings a fine. Inside the city the four doors and saloon proportions make everyday life easy. Outside, the trips are short and varied: Mechelen and Lier to the south for St Rumbold's tower and the Zimmer Tower, Ghent within an hour, or north-west across the Dutch border to Zeeland, where the road runs along the Delta Works dams and the Eastern Scheldt barrier to Veere and Zierikzee. The 530 hp straight-six and 3.5 seconds to 100 km/h make light work of the 120 km/h motorways.

For dinner on the coast, Knokke-Heist via Bruges is a fine evening run. In October the European Open tennis at the Lotto Arena brings visitors, and the Tomorrowland weekends at Boom in July fill hotels and the A12: book early for those dates. We bring the car to Antwerpen-Centraal, Brussels Airport, your hotel or your office, as agreed at booking, with insurance and 24/7 assistance included.
