The 620SLI I had was one of the best cars I owned. In fact I wouldn't mind owning another at some time, I did over 100,000 miles of trouble free motoring, I passed it on on the family and it did over 200,000 miles, on the original clutch, before the bodywork gave up the ghost.

I did 20000 in mine in 14 months including a trip to inverness from liverpool and back last December thick snow and minus 10 car ran faultless. Then sadly on my way home from work a few months ago the car just switched off on the m57 at 70 mph ECU HAD DIED NO WARNING it had only done 100000 i was gutted rest of the car was mint with a full service history. I couldnt give it away and ended up scrapping it for 75 quid

I had my 620ti for over 5 yrs, have regretted parting with it ever since, that 200 bhp was something to contend with, beautiful engine. No longer on DVLA records, had it been I would have bought it back.

These cars were great in their day, the best of them was the 623GSi with a wonderful Honda engine, not my favourite I had a 618Si and I drove it everywhere in France not a thing went wrong with it over nearly 90K, engine was wonderful, but lacked torque trim was great.

These cars can do astronomical miles if looked after look out for rust on the rear arches where they join the bumper, the brake disks are difficult to replace at the front, the 620Ti is very fast, but engine leaks oil( a design fault) other than that buy a well serviced and loved on.e

Vindaloo has one as good as you're likely to see. Gorgeous.
I prefer the look of these cars to the BMW 3 series of the same era.
