  • BMW X! - Alternative to our BMW X1 2 Oct 2023 (Forum)
    We bought it about 6 months ago. Its the 2.0 20D version 2013. It only has 80k miles on it and all of that is BMW services Its been reliable so far but due to financial circumstances we are looking to sell it and get a slightly cheaper car. We think its worth between £7500 and £8000 so ideally want to get a car between £5000 and £6000 My daughter likes being high up and we all like automatics Any ideas which of these on our list ( obviously if we choose on history and condition ) would we be a 'wise' alternative for something reliable and not costly to fix ( which I think the BMW is if anything went wrong ) We would probably only do about 6-8k miles a year.

  • BMW 116d EfficiencyDynamics - BMW 116d EfficiencyDynamics fuel consumption? 4 Oct 2016 (Forum)
    I bought my very low mileage 13 plate BMW 116d EfficiencyDynamics 6 weeks ago and generally love it, however I am more than a little bit peeeeved about the heavy fuel consumption!
