Like this car a lot, saloon model?
 This car has 187K + on it and I have had no problems thus far.  Got it used and have been replacing all the maintenance parts, all filters, oil, water, brake fluid, power steering ATF, and the interior parts like the cup holders, wood trim, all windscreen trim, floor mats.  I may even replace differential fluid.  Getting the required diagnostic tools for the eventual problems.  The car uses no oil, (use 5W-40 full syn) or has any oil leaks, or leaks period, and still gets 26 mpg in town and 31+ hwy  (91 Oct).  I will work on the door dings and one minor dent (dine size) and paint chips last.  So far I love this car which is a world above what I was driving.  For the vale, I spent the same on the U.S. car I was driving as the BMW, but now I have the BMW!  At 5K this is the only way I could get into the lux car market and I turns out I got the best!!!   I have had the car three months, (4000 mi) but what months.  So I must be fair.  But what start!!!                                              Remember with concentrated coolant use distilled water!!
