Hi
I have a 7+ years old 318i, run 72k km with it - not much; no issues at all, the car just runs very nicely and I like it a lot; I always services my car properly. in 2+ years the government says though we need to part ways... I'm coming from Germany and there 72k is like nothing for a BMW, they can easily go 200k and more, so I'm thinking: Shall I renew my COE in 2+ years for another 10 years? I will probably drive 200k in 20 years.
What do you guys think, how would you decide? What repairs do you think do I need to be prepared for over the next 12 years? And do you think what all the car sales men tell me - "you can't run a car 20 years in this humidity, you should buy a new car when your COE runs out" - do you agree with that?
thanks for sharing your views!
