Well the time has come to say goodbye to my 2014 F10 520d M-Sport, purchased as an AUC from Cooper Reading (remember them?) at just shy of 3 years old and some 20k miles.on the clock in 2017. 8 years later at 149k miles it has served me very well (the best car I have owned since the 320d before it!) It's had nothing wrong with it in all those miles just usual servicing, EGR recall x2, tyres, brakes & last year a couple of tie rod ends as it was starting to knock on the front end. Main dealer history up to 100k miles then an independent after that (RBM in Hampshire) Probably could have got more privately but sold to WBAC at an acceptable price, hopefully it serves it's next owner well! I just don't do the mileage these days (change of job) and have controversially (for this forum!) gone full EV with a new Tesla M3 RWD which I have had for the last month. Too early to fully comment on the Tesla but I can see why there are so many on the road! £500 of supercharging for using a referral link and have had a home charger installed for £3 full charge overnight, along with minimal maintenance! My daughter still has a 320d M-Sport Xdrive so will still be popping in from time to time
Ahhh…..the EV has taken your soul….witchcraft I tell thee, witchcraft….. The F10 has been an epic car for you, can’t really complain after all those years and miles. Stick around and keep us updated on the new car.
Nice. I've driven a couple of the Highland Model 3's and I was impressed with them, it felt a very accomplished car. Autopilot was very hit and miss though, but for the money you can't really go wrong... I'd have probably gone for the grey too (as it's now a free colour), solid black would be a real headache to keep looking good!
