Just as well because BMW doesn't seem to keep much replacement stock in the UK. Very pleased with fuel consumption (V-Power) - 30/31 around town, 38/41 on long motorway trips at 80mph. Not so impressed with Bridgestone runflats on 18" 189s even though they look nice. On certain motorway stretches the tramlining is quite disconcerting. Anyone had problems on southbound M40 just before Oxford services?
my 325i's 'engine malfunction' orange light came on today - then total loss of power - limped home. bmw have just lifted it though they are not guaranteeing a replacement car unless i drive to the airport to pick one up from avis! the guy that lifted it reckons a 'fuel issue'....?
