M140. The second service is pretty steep £600ish from BMW. Think the M cars are about 1k for a major service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Nearly bought a f80 m3 a month ago. Glad we didn't. The crank hub issue and turbos letting go isn't good. If you decide on an estate.the 3.0 diesel Audi takes some beating. Good to drive and quick with decent mpg. Good luck with whatever car you choose.

If it wasn’t for having a baby, dog and wanting to spend a bit of time travelling around the country I would keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Audi Q5, or even better an Sq5. Go for a low miles facelift mk1. I think they are better quality inside than the mk2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea it comes with the car, 3 months bumper to bumper then an option to purchase the next 9. I'll not know till it comes in the post as they said up to 4 weeks.

Mickeydredd Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Very nice...........but It surely didn't tick all these boxes.....😉 Must be; No more than 4 years old. Good on fuel (120 miles a day commute) Automatic Decent inside seen as I spend a couple of hours a day sat there. Decent power 190bhp+. I’m going from 400~ish 😢. 4wd would be a plus but not essential. Big enough for dog, baby and stuff for a week away. Budget 15-20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on the list for me as a possible next car. Great car if its big enough for you. AWD and can be easily modified to 375bhp+! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuddster Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 nice motor-I reluctantly had to 'familiarise' myself with a Overfinch 5.0 RR before driving some old dear to her afternoon appointment-it was literally a supercar.
