Faults:

One thing - The rear diff gave up. - Not financially worth repairing after that.

General Comments:

A comfortable and classy car.

By no means a sports car, but a quiet and pleasant motorway cruiser.

A little heavy on the petrol, especially around town.

The rear diffs are the Achilles heel of this car. To an older BM like this, not in pristine condition, unless you have garage facilities to repair it yourself, it is not cost-effective.

Faults:

All electrical items a bit dodgy, such as windscreen wipers, wing mirrors, sunroof, windows.

Auto gearbox failed, rebuilt and just failed again (c£1,000 a time).

Coolant sensor light remains on constantly. Trip computer had 3 new boards and still doesn't work!

General Comments:

Good firm ride and confidence boosting acceleration. Nice size car handling brilliantly.....until it rains! Petrol economy on long runs is good but guzzles petrol on in-town motoring.

Debating another 2nd hand BMW or an Audi (50/50).
