2013 e92 Purchase

[tlorencz]

I purchase an e92 xdrive Msport CPO at the end of June. It had 26k miles. I also purchased the extended maintenance as I am driving 30k miles a year with work. So far I've put 6k miles on it and I'm pretty impressed. I am getting 28.5 mpg on long trips over 200 miles. I love the power, acceleration and handling. I will be interested in seeing how it holds up over the next 3 years under heavy driving.

Update - I've put 9000 miles the first 2 months of ownership. Took the vehicle in for routine service (oil change, intake and cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement). Service is still covered under my maintenance plan. This is a very solid car. Extremely pleased with handling and performance. I'm getting 29 mpg on long trips, using cruise control helps. I'm burning 89 octane. Only issue so far is I have uploadeded a number of CDs to my hard drive. On playback they skip and have static.

Update

just put over 15k miles since purchase end of June. Everything is going well except just had to replace 3 tires and repair 1 front rim dur to road resurfacing hazard. Contractor forgot to feather the milling of the road when he came to a bridge. Good thing I purchase the wheel and tire hazard package.

Also changed spark plugs, oil change and wiper blades at dealer for no cost. Car is so much fun to drive. Dealer gave me a 535 to drive when mine was being fixed. I about fell asleeep driving it!

Update. Just turned 55k miles. Took it in for inspection and service. Did oil and filter change, everything else was fine. Still impressed with the driveability of this car. Love the acceleration. Got 28 mpg on a 600 mile trip this week freeway driving 70 to 80 mph.

Update on maintenance and repair. My current mileage is 146,500

i average 8,500 miles between oil changes. Currently I burn about 1L of oil ever 10,000 miles. So I just choose to do an oil change versus topping off.

Big issue with tire and wheel replacement due to MSport wheels. This issue got better when I purchased a spare and went to conventional versus run flat tires. Currently running Continental Extreme Contact DWS.
