Does anyone here have an M-Coupe?

[Chris71]

Vaguely toying with the idea of getting one as a daily driver. Can someone tell me how they stand up to daily abuse and high mileages? What are servicing costs and fuel economy like?

Most importantly, does anyone know if you can get a mountain bike (minus the wheels) in one?

Fine as a daily driver. I have used mine for the past 2 years with no issues. I usually get around 200 mile out of 40 litres of juice. Inspection 1 costs around £200 and inspection 2 costs around £400 from indi but could be double from dealer. Oil service is around £100. Service intervals are around 7.5-10k on an S50 and higher on a S54

S50 no traction control
S54 with traction.

There is alot of hype regarding vanos units on the S50 but they are not as bad/weak as people make out. S54 has a bearing shell issue but not too sure about that.

Fantastic cars and very usable/practal (unless you need 4 seats. Lol.
