BMW

Thats very odd. Its almost backwards thinking

What if I tow mine depending on if its front or rear wheel drive.?

Good idea

Years ago, I used to have a customer who had a company car and he could claim the petrol back. He used to get hand written petrol receipts from someone he knew in a petrol station and before it went in for servicing, he'd pay me to wind the mileage ON. He'd also claim for new tyres but wouldn’t have them fitted, he just took the tyres and sold them privately. When it came time to change it, he’d let a relative buy it. It might have, say, 40,000 miles on the clock but in reality, it hadn’t done a tenth of that!

I like BMWs but they seem to be silly money even with over 100k miles on them.
The engines dont seem to have the best reputation either with timing chain issues.
I really fancy a 330d Touring myself but you need to pay £20k for a 10 year old car.

I've had/got an E34/E39 five series, but back in the 'nineties they were designed by engineers not accountants.
Despite this they both fall into the 'cheap car' bracket, being old but not enough to be valued classics.

Still the best cars I've owned in 60 years of motoring but I wouldn't buy one built in the past couple of decades.
