Hi,

I am just about to buy a 530XD E61 for use between the UK and Switzerland. As the X Drive 5 series doesn't exist in the UK are BMW service centres still able to service/fix the car?

Thanks,

Gerard

The X-drive as such is really reliable and othervise the rest of car is similar to RWD versions. Also X3 and X5 are in UK market. It should not be problem to get service in UK even thought they have that spefic model.

Been in UK for now 7 years, and currently driving my french 530XD...with French plates [Beauty of UK not being cooperative in EU matters...] which make speed tickets effect less on my driver license points

Car has been so far maintained by BMW dealer in Wales and no particular issue. Yet I had no issue this far on Xdrive part of the car. And warranty from BMW France does work but I need French dealer to 'clear' repair before proceed. [car is still under extended warranty till November].

And so far, nobody noticed car was re-maped by Evolve in Lutton...
