bmw5 is on a distinguished road
After a 2 week stay at the workshop i received my beauty with the new powerplant.It was explained to me that the engine was defective and a part in the engine didnt
lubricate and that resulted to white smoke.I was told that i should break in the engine very carefully,without exceeding the 4000 rpms limit because this is a brand new engine that hasnt been broken in.Anyway,i had the opportunity to use the car for 700 kms over the weekend and i was truly amazed by the spacious interior,the beautiful exterior,the handling,the breaking.The auto gear box works excellent,it downshifts and upshifts in the correct time and the torque makes me happy.I have the feeling that i drive a kart,you get great feedback by the steering and where you want to turn on the road it simply follows your hands.I like very much the active lights,they are so helpfull at night in the greek countryside where the county doesnt illuminate adequatly the streets.The only drawback is that itsnt exactly an offroad,the car must be driven to tarmac,the suspension is stiff.I found out that you can open the windows with the key and close the windows and the mirrors.When you unlock the car the mirrors open.There is also the option to partly activate the alarm when you are on the ferry.
