Overall reliability

Great syling, well equiped and an outstanding drive

Purchased from an independent dealer with 42K on the clock. Full BMW service history.
Drive is outstanding. The steering and suspension are excellent. Great all round performance for a 520d with an average of 45mpg.
The inside is very minimalistic but very well equipped. leather seats, electric and also heated (great in the winter). The i Drive takes some getting used to, but now its second nature. The seats are very comfortable and long distances are no problem. Very quiet and relaxing to drive.
The front and rear sensors with the graphical display make parking easy for a car of this size.
Servicing is reasonable At my local BMW independent (Newhall BMW Sheffield) prices are:
Oil change £120. Best done once a year.
Brake fluid change £40
Micro filter, air filter and fuel filter £130
Only problems so far is the rear heated window. Wiring problem fixed by the dealer under warranty. The tyre pressure monitor sometimes tells lies!
In summary, great car to drive, well equipped and reasonable running costs. Paid 14K at 6 years old for a car that was 38K new.
