Sorry, I meant SAVs  |
I recently got the 2008 e70 4.8 with the 20's, so pretty much what you are looking for.
I like the truck over all but it is not an easy thing to work on.
Since I work on my own cars, so far I had a bit of difficulty finding out my way around.
As for the truck: it does not drink gas.. I think it gulps it. I average about 15 miles to a gallon. So about 300 in city and 380 on highway for $80 a tank.
Parts are not too cheep but also can be got from Import Part Stores.
An example here would be an O2 sensor that BMW sales for 300 vs same unit from Import Parts Supply for 180.
There are things that fail on this truck and some I have noticed are Suspension bags (I now have two new in the back), engine gaskets and plastic makes cheep and squicky noise.
Coming from an Audi (still have it), BMW seems to be a cheaper car, unfortunatly my X5 cost twice what my A4 did cost.
Ohh well.
Good Luck.
