G31 Buyers Guide
Discussion
Hi folks, new here. I'm very close to making the purchase of a 2020 G31.
It's a 520i GPF M Sport Touring model, has just 38k miles. Has a full BMW Dealer service history.
There'd be some things that'd be amazingly helpful to know.
Generally, what I can expect maintenance wise and costs. Research online suggests a major service falls in around £400-500.
Any tips or advice about things I should be looking at or asking the dealer regarding this model would be great.
I'm figuring that at less than 40k miles, there shouldn't be anything of concern.
Thank you.

Its a great car and will eat distance with ease at frankly absurd mpg
Servicing is every 2y and alternates major with oil change plus fluids etc
My car is a 530d and the costs were a bit higher but not catastrophic
Im trying to remember the spec on mine, I think it had the comfort pack and HK stereo, both of which are essential IMHO
Comfort gives electric seat adjustment, rear camera and something else I cant remember, and the HK was essential in my opinion as standard audio is adequate at best
One thing Id ask which is a bugbear of mine is the door seals leaking in winter leading to water freezing such as you cannot actually open the doors
This is definitely a thing online and I am so hacked off with how the dealer and/or BMW have fobbed me off with his that its honestly my last BMW
Probably...............
EDIT: folding mirrors and keyless access
