Since new to 10500 miles my 530d is showing average of 46.7 , very pleased with that
-
So snow tyres and or 4 wheel drive mean you never have an accident in snow or ice !!
-
Always take it, had 3 claims. ( different cars) within first 6 months of ownership ( tyres) never an issue and almost covered cost of policy
-
Did many a return trip NE of England to Aberdeen last winter in G30 on original tyres without issue, been doing same journey over 10 years in a variety of 2 wheel drive BMW’s including M5 without issue.
-
Just pver 10k in and mine still shows 4000 miles and no top up required
-
Your wives have a key !!!!!!

The engine is a beauty, I am averaging 46.5 over 8500 miles. ( OBC) It is fast when required smooth and quiet . On 300 mile drives up to Aberdeen can get upto 54 mpg, sure you will love it
-
Just done it while car sat on drive took about 20 mins
-
can’t comment on 520 but the 530 engine is fantastic, coming from an M5 it is still quick enough ( most of time )
-
Had an issue with surround camera’s on a 640. Took a couple trips but dealer sorted it ( did require some new wiring from Germany) Will be keeping an eye on G30 for any repeats
-
Strangely mine did exactly that yesterday. Was fine after turning ignition off and back on
-
On my F10 it was a camera that provided the speed limit display, not sure on G30/31, I now use Waze which is much better

Heads Up

I’ve been dissapointed with the privacy glass on my previous BMs but this time the tint is perfect , IMO it really adds to the look
-
Mines factory, looks darker in the photo but great in daylight
-
You will love the 3.0 lump its a peach
-
2.0 is great, 3.0 nice to have
-
OBC, fairly mixed driving including lots of in town and long journey ( probably 50/50 )
-
My 530 is averaging 47+ over 3500 miles
-
I use Spotify via my phone works great at no extra cost
-
Only in eco pro, the dial that shows mpg. When coasting the figure appears at needle spindle
-
Using eco pro on my 530d OBC indicates I get over 100 miles freewheeling over a 600 mile journey , pretty impressive and obviously contributes to my return of over 50 mpg for the journey

Sophisto and Ivory

Not noticed much difference, if anything its worse now but think that’s due to low ambient temps lately
