| Where do I start on the 523i....
1 - Way too big for what I need
2 - Guzzles fuel like you wouldn't believe - avg. 25mpg and I am a very conservative driver
3 - service intervals are ridiculous - oil service every 9,000 miles (robbed by the stealer every time)
4 - Eats tyres and they can can't really get the balancing right each time
5 - Expensive to insure (business user)
6 - Numerous electrical faults that I have had with it
7 - Ride is too much like a duvet going round corners
8 - Can't get the driving position right, so end up with a really sore lower back after long journeys...
I can go on but to be honest I rushed into buying it due to my predicament at the time.
I do a lot of motorway driving so I use cruise a lot especially if I don't know the area and don't know where those pesky cameras maybe. |
