Hi All

Managed to find a very respectable deal on a 2018 BMW 120d (F20) MSport with 58000km.

Will post pics once I've taken delivery.

Heard some great things about reliability on the B47 engine and quite looking forward to the driving experience!

I'm looking for recommended places to consider for servicing/preventative maintenance checks and such in the Durban/Durban North/Westville/Kloof areas.
I live and work around these areas so makes it convenient if nearby.

Also just general advice for tyre care and leather seat care are welcome!

Congrats. Awesome choice!

Sent you a PM with a BMW tech you can use for servicing and maintenance.

Tyre care -Ensure alignment and tyre pressure is always correct. Rotate if not narrows and wides.

Leather care - Use a leather cleaner to degrease the seats before applying a leather balm or conditioner. Autoglym has a good range and you can get them online.

Congrats!
How are you finding the driving experience?
Been epic, only around 60km of driving done thus far though.

Going to have some fun over the weekend with it, just need to find the right roads around Durban as our roads are shocking in places šŸ˜”

So far moving from manual to automatic is awesome for the daily commute (and the added bonus of a manual mode makes me almost not miss the manual).
The torque in the diesel is fantastic as well. Will probably have some more feedback after some longer drives.
I also find the whole suspension/tyre setup definitely gives more road feedback but without it being an uncomfortable ride. Also not used to not hearing road noise while driving 🤣

Will comment more after driving it a bit more, just my first impressions.

Is Renzzport a recommendation for their accessories/mod options?
