tilvin Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Dear Friends, My story is long. Anyway I am trying to tell it short...?. I am actually a Peugeot ONLY fan previously. We have owned 203, 504 - Both My Grandpas and 306, 307 - Both My Dad had and 206, 406, 407, previously owned by me and now having a Peugeot 308 triptronic. To have a change, I recently bought a Toyota Caldina Diesel. It was a nightmare. I ended up mostly in garage...???. From suspensions to gearbox, I have attended almost everything. But still car is not in pristine condition which usually I expect. I am fed up with that. So I am planning to sell that and going to buy BMW X1 petrol. I am interested in 2011 and 2012 models. How much are these models going? Other than Agents and Milroy do we have any good garages where I can do the running repairs professionally and maintain the car in pristine condition? Friends, please help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devinda_Z Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 @tilvin if you don't mind me asking, why the X1??

tilvin Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Thanks for the reply. I like station wagon kind of vehicle. So X1 has the look of SW.

Devinda_Z Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 @tilvin ever considered a Subaru? The Forester has station wagon functionality with AWD SUV capability and the turbocharged ones have sports car performance ? Very reliable (like most Japanese cars usually are) but charming to drive like a European car, with character 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends, please help. Thanks. try Auto Bavaria for servicing. I did some financing to the guy who was a former director at the Agent and bought all original equipment. A Friend of mine did some work on his 318i there and had no complaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
