Hi!
Anyone done any high mileage on the diesels ?
Just wondered how the reliability has been ?
how much have the services cost ?
Any un-expected costs ?
etc

I've done just under 14,000 miles in 10 months with no mechanical issues whatsoever. My only issues related to the i-drive which were sorted with an upgrade to one of the version 11 releases. Not due an oil service for some considerable time yet if my memory of the obc readout is correct.

10.000 Kms in 2 months. Running just fine.
One more month and maybe more 5.000 kms.
The speedo service warning is showing more 18.000 kms until next service.
I can say that 80% of the driving is done at 160 Km/h at least.

i think i have all you guys beat by doing 15,000 miles in just over 6 months :'( . Yea thats pretty sickening but my drive to work is a killer...i would get another cheap car and use the e60 as more of an occassional car but don't want to pay insurance on two cars
