I remember you saying you do a lot of miles is it that you have a long distance commute to work or is it that you just do a lot of driving at weekends.
I had a long commute, its halved since!
I have done 21k miles since january!
Certainly diesel territory
Roughly €5k petrol at 25mpg average and €1.40 for petrol.

127k man, 106 when I got it.
More low average to be honest.
Plenty of M52 engines going over 300k though, they are crazy reliable.
BMW reliability rabble wabble
I've heard about them being a reliable engine alright I think I may of known someone who has one can't recall though. Ah 106k wasn't a whole lot on it infairness. There is almost 77k miles on mine now.0 -

I still don't think I understand DL reg cars
They have every accessory under the sun tacked on to them, are generally very high spec, seem to be in immaculate condition, are usually going for relatively cheap prices.. but I can't bring myself to even consider one. A DL reg is an instant no-no for me on a car. Even on cars that aren't 'boy racer' material.

Instant turn off for me.
I work up there the odd time, and the drivers are simply mental
Am the same with Cavan reg cars0 -

It's not even that the drivers may be a bit mental there, I just can't put my finger on why I dislike them.
If I see a nice car and then see it has a DL plate, my opinion of it always lowers. It's like seeing a lovely car going down the road, and when it passes you see the back bumpers damaged. Your thinking is "nice motor.. shame about the damage".
I have the same thinking when I see a DL plate. And I've no idea why I dislike them so much.

No for me it's that I feel like I take my life in my hands driving in either Cavan or Donegal, and the sheer amount of neglected cars with defective lights etc drives me nuts.0 -
