I loved it but wasn't suited to my needs and Beemers in general are expensive to maintain, that was a big thing for me. Think tyres were around £200 each. Insurance was high. The MPG I used to average around 40. Could get 50-55 on motorway but the urge to put it in sport mode and give it a boot once a week pulled them 50s straight back down......and you won't resist the urge! Had a friend just sold his X3 MSport for same reason Regards maintennace costs. Needed rear brakes and was £800+ that was with employee discount. Do your research on the engine type as some have issues with cam chains going around 100k and its a 2-2.5k fix if they go. Really nice motor all in all but costly IMO. Personally I've always liked ford's for reliability and cheap to maintain and the all important heated screen. But currenely I'm back to subaru forester and my vivaro conversion for now! Wont go far wrong with a Subaru.. I've had the pleasure of owning 7 in different forms..love em, engine's will go on forever 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
