Another Milestone

[WIDEOPN-X5]

Just clocked 250000km in the X3 :smilebounce:

Just a footnote on that consumption.... That's after towing my 3 bike trailer loaded with lifting slings / chains / shackles from Heidelberg to Hilton

Awesome!

Awesome!

What model is it and have you had many issues along the way?

 

[WIDEOPN-X5]

2013 20d. So far not a day's trouble. She's running beautifully and doesn't use a drop of oil between services. Most of the time I get a consumption of 6.4l/100km on a tank with 95% on the open road and the rest a bit of town driving.

Was offered a trade in of R150k on a new 30d X3. Small issue of that car being over a Bar specced the same as mine. So I'll be keeping my 20d and see how far she goes:smilebounce:

 

[RickyM]

Wow! That's great performance. I have always liked them, maybe I should consider getting one.

Glad to hear that all is going well and I hope it continues that way.
:bravo:

This is good news for me :roflol:

Rockfire I think think big plus for my car is that it's open road driving. I have never reset my average speed on the onboard computer and this is sitting on 86.8km/h over the 250k km total distance covered.

I had the gearbox oil changed last year on around 195k km and the chaps at ZF in Durban called me to look at the oil. It still looked new :thumbs:

This didn't really surprise me given the fact that the car is mostly in 6th to 8th gear only toll gates interfering with that :thumbdo:

I'm going to give the suspension a total refresh soon with new shocks and bushes and also will need new disc rotors / pads and finally 4 new tyres in about 15k km. So I'm going to drop about R40k on the car probably but I figured it's better to do that on a car I will own after last installment on 1st Sept this year than to take a pittance as a trade in on a car costing R1 Bar and R22k pm to pay off. :hammerhead::hammerhead:

 

[RAArmstrong]

Sell it to me? :fencelook: :roflol:

 

[WIDEOPN-X5]

R200K she's yours :smilebounce:

Makes me feel good about my X1 2.0D i just bought on 120 000 - 130 000 to go considering I only do 10 000 a year - its gonna be along drive for me to get to that number - hopefully without any hiccups too
