A bit dated really. Dont buy unless you have an endless supply of money. Its a nice car but It really doesnt deserve the praise. Buy a Lexus instead.

Problems
Engine
Loads DSC ABS Cylinder head gaskets (at £1700) you name it its gone wrong. The cars spent more time in a BMW dealer than I have driving it!
Other
Electrics are very unreliable and complex, Sometimes the fans dont work then its the stereo, rattly doors, lumbar supports broken. This car has done 110000 miles has never been written off and has got a BMW service history.
