. Nice autobox ZF6HP28 I believe in the E92. Really nice cars, honestly, you won't want to go back into a Rover afterwards . BTW, when the power starts to feel slow, you can get quite an improvement with a remap . Just make sure you give the car a good blast up the motorway every so often to give the DPF a clear out. They are supposed to regen every 500 miles if the conditions allow it.

The only beemer I ever owned was aa E 34 M5. Had a great engine, revving to around 7200. Once you got used to navigating out of the door window, it was fun!

Interested to hear your thoughts on it as you get to know it, real world fuel economy and winter usability if we get a snowy one. Winter tyres planned?
Idly considering a 320d / 330d Xdrive as a potential future purchase - wouldnt have a hope in hell without the 4wd where we will be living next year.

Never bothered with faffing about with Winter tyres,

well not on the ZT never really needed them.
Not really recessary in this Country

And the seller had already got shot of the run flats and put a new set of michelins on.


Not gone more than 20 miles so far but the readout shows a cunnrent average of 38mpg and I did easily keep the gauge up inthe 50's running light but any touch of the accel dropped it a bit sharpish .

Traction control should help slow it down!
