What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
A reliable well built saloon car with RWD As my main travel is rural and motorway the fuel economy at posted limits is acceptable at 8l/100km. It runs smoothly on 95 grade and services are well spaced out. It's outfitted with 20" German rims and the tyres are half worn after 20,000km. It has passed every warrant with a clean slate and accessories work as designed In short it is a pleasure to drive and having owned Bentley,Daimler/Jaguar and Land Rover over the decades this is in the same category and better in maintenance than those various makes.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Ancedotes from friends in Bavaria initially and driving various rental Beamers in Europe over the years convinced me of their reliability
What have you discovered since owning the car?
That I am not disappointed with my choice in vehicle size or performance which is not always the case with European cars.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Like virtually everything and at 123,000km there are no problem's looming which is a major factor in choosing vehicles of this type.
