review New daily acquired - P Series

[Nick]

Great news Nick and just in time for the weekend. Which detail package are you considering with Prash?

Just a good clean and his coating, i might even go help him do my car, im keen to learn.

 

[Nick]

Been a while since my last post.

I did manage to get to Prash for that wash, kinda felt bad taking up space in his operation lol, rubbing fenders with Bentley's and Porsches.
Anyway, she is on 32xxxkm now, still doing very well with no issues.

Hi @Nick , any updates on the P-series experience so far?

About to hit 40K this week, still going strong.

Will be doing a set of front brake pads next week, but other than that its been a pleasure to drive.

How's the fuel consumption so far?

How's the fuel consumption so far?

Not to bad hey, for its size.
Peak traffic she gets to 11/100ish.
Open road at 120 i see high 6's to low 8's depending on the situation.

Thats decent mileage for an auto as well. Really considering this as a replacement for my Ranger when the time comes

 

[Nick]

OEM front pads from GWM Woodmead - will get my workshop to fit to save on the labor.

Are they not covered by maintenance plan perhaps

 

[Nick]

I have a service plan. Didnt take a maintenance plan due to me having a workshop and 8 techs at my disposal.

Hi Nick, you still happy with your P? My sister's son is looking to buy one so i had another look at your posts and the comments. Do they have the same ZF auto as the BM's do? If that is the case then its only good as the ZF gearboxes seem very very good, the best in the business i would dare to say.

Yes, they are ZF 8HPxx boxes

Yup, the ZF is awesome, iv heard the manual cars are having clutch pedal issues. - im still happy with my P-series, she is about to tick over 43k this week.
The 2022> cars have had the DPF manual cleaning cycle removed which is a good thing.
The only thing i dont like about mine. otherwise its a pleasure to have.

 

[Solo Man]

Thanks! We planning to go look at one tomorrow. He seems keen to buy!

P series traded in yesterday on a Haval H6.
Thread is over on https://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/threads/haval-h6-owner-ship-and-review.100538/page-2

P was a great car but life changes and i no longer needed the size.
