Ours was the humble 525d - three litres, but at 195(?)bhp not a rocket ship. Quick enough for an old f**t like me though!

I have no issues running wise, no faults, no errors on vida. I've all the bits needed to do a full service including a gearbox flush again, all I need is the weather, perhaps that will grant me a few extra MPG's once done. |

Coasting in neutral on downhill bits is always worth a few mpg

TPMS, in my experience, is not as reliable as we may think it is. I've seen 3 to 4 PSI of a variation accros the front tyres which wasn't picked up by the system 🤔

I think my relatively poor mpg is mostly down to short trips in a hilly area.
