"Disappointing German engineering"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil Pressure switch required at 7,000 miles.
New clutch and gearbox bushes fitted at 12,000 miles.
New ABS (Anti Lock Braking System) wiring looms fitted at 29,000 miles.

The car is quick with excellent performance and economy.
