So you get the 45p/25p mileage allowance on top of your car allowance?
No car allowance, just 45/25p rate per mile.
I’ve got a 135k 335d got it with 90k on it 6 years ago.
Fault wise I had to replace the turbo actuators/vac switches, both thermostats (main and egr) shocks and springs all round and the just has the abs pump/actuator unit reconditioned. These seem to be common faults but not mega money if you can DIY or don’t go to BMW. The rest is usual servicing and wear and tear.
Been happy with it, was only planning on keeping it 3 years....
Sorry to drag this up again but...
You get a car allowance and 45p per mile fuel rate? That's pretty good. I get car allowance plus something like 15p per mile, then obviously claim the tax relief back on the difference. Although I now do pretty much 0 business miles a year.
Pushing it a bit that, a brand new 320d M-Sport tourer is just over £35k and that's a bloody good spec
He did say with a good engine 😆
On a more serious note, I'd be tempted to hang on to what you've got because it's largely a known quantity. You can never be sure of how something else has been treated.
Our 330 (E90) had done just over 90k when we sold it and it was a good car. We did just over 30k in the car and other than consumables (tyres, discs, pads) and routine servicing it only had one issue - VANOS actuattors failed. It was a much better made car than my previous E46 which at similar mileage (60 - 100k) went through a new rad, water pump, thermostat, rear shocks, rear spring sets x 2, brake lines, front wishbones, rear bushes plus tyres etc.
It's possible to be a good high mileage car, but there are some shit heaps out there. Ex-company cars may not be the best thing - as mentioned previously lease companies keep maintenance to a minimum (i.e. only replce if something is shagged) plus not many company car drivers I know really give a damn about the car.
