Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes I owned the car for 5 years during which time I had, radiator changed under warranty one day it just sprung a leak and the waterb& coolant went up in steam! Normal wear and tear of parts, changed suspension, issue with wiper motor meant car was kept by bmw for 2 weeks whilst parts from Germany were ordered and sent back! Dealer ended up replacing entire motor and relay. In the 5th year problem with roof mechanism, meant it would not go up unaided - I then got rid of the car at this point. I did drive over 100,000 miles in it since I brought it so on the whole pleased.
What's most practical about your car?
Heated seats and larger than expected boot space, could get 2 suitcases in without issue.
