Just trying to look into the future a little.

LadyV8 quite fancies one of these and has spied a 2007 car (2006MY, so no DPF). But we'll want some longevity out of it, so I'm wondering how the early 04- models are faring?

Anyone care to announce a clean bill of health for their 6-7 year old car or their catalogue of expensive problems?

I can announce a clean bill of health for a late 2007 (LCI) 118d !!

Edit to add: since new and across 51000 miles, excluding some slight rattles from glovebox trim which was an easy fix.

I havent driven the old 163hp 120d but I understand there isnt much in it (if anything) between those and the newer 143hp 118d's

HTH wink
