    I think you guys should have a cool club name like Chain Rattlers, that would be suitable for the BMW lads :pac:

    That would make sense if we had the N47 engine that had the chain issue. We don't, we have the N54 engine which has the turbo/HPFP/water pump/injector/steering lock issues :pac:

    My M54 is misfiring when cold due to a loose or faulty breather pipe, I also want in on this club :pac:

    One of my front brake backing plates is rattling, I'd love to join the club too, but I doubt an Alfa is unreliable enough for this crew:D

    You must just drive the car day and night you seem to clock up serious miles :)

    I do a fair bit but the girlfriend works in Dub so it's 120-130 miles per day!
    Only a 3 day week (Nurse) but it adds up like crazy.

    Plus we bring that when we're going anywhere over the Astra :)

    Got it March of '13 with 133k on it.
    760 miles a week average.
    Calculated €10,908 on diesel :eek:
    And roughly €2,600 in Tax!

    I'm going to stop now :(:pac:

    Do you think that bill would be much smaller if you got a 525 or 520d? Fuel that is.

    Well if we say that a 520 done 50mpg realistically?
    €9,135

    Ah feck it you only live once.
    That said a 530i doing what 25-28 would see me at..
    €16,429 @26.5mpg

    I think it's a good middle ground at big mileage, also the old big diesel engine reliability of the M57 has been faultless so other than €50 a service it's been perfect!

    That must be a lot of petrol each week. Although maybe there not as bad as I think what would you be looking at 30 mpg

    E60 all cleaned up.
    Cheated a little though as I left it in for a valet due to time constraints.
