Bye

Mine's gone now, taken away by the lease company this morning. BMW arrived a couple of hours later. Maybe see you all in another 2 years' time (if they put a bigger engine in and a proper auto box).

Best of luck to you all.

Re: 1.6 Dci Auto questions

After 2 years and 40,000 miles of motorways, London traffic and local journeys, not driven like it was stolen, I can report an overall average of 42mpg. On longer motorway cruises it has been known to show up to 55mpg but in reality that is probably only 50mpg. Drive like a complete nun and you migh...

Re: Time to change coming

Obviously it will be more expensive to run to run than the Qashqai but probably not frighteningly so. Tyres on the Qashqai are £200 each and my friend with a similar BMW pays £170 for his tyres. After 40,000 miles of Qashqai running, on motorways, into London and local journeys I can say with confid...

Re: Time to change coming

Re: Time to change coming

Completely off the radar, I have ended up ordering a BMW 3GT 330d M Sport. I wasn't looking for it but a great deal came along and................ As it happens it is bigger than the Qashqai in every direction with a massive engine. It just doesn't have all the toys. By the way, does anyone know the...

Re: Dash rattle

Mine has had the intermittent dash rattle on the passenger side for almost 2 years. Only 5 weeks left to go and then BMW 330GT arrives. The next owner can enjoy the rattle.

Re: Left hand stork with lights functions on it

In 2 years of driving it has only happened to me at least 2 times a week. Only have to gently brush against it and over it goes. At least now I know I have done it and reset to Auto.

Re: Water on door windows

How dare you question if it is a fault...it is a product characteristic. No other manufacturer is considerate enough to design in such a feature.

Re: And it's goodbye from me.

My QQ goes in August and I have just ordered a BMW 330d GT X Drive for when it goes. Never had a Bimmer before so it will be interesting to see if it is worth the extra. Hopefully it wont give me the same annoying electronic glitches that the QQ continues to do.
