I don't like the DSG box either, the BMW 8 speed ZF box and the DCT box are much much better. Seem to give less problems too. DSG does stupid things most of the time and gets annoying.
Very manageable, I am getting similiar mpg in my c class.Average about 32/33mpg. Servicing is standard sort of costs. Obviously need haldex service, dsg etc too. We have a VW warranty which costs £330 per year.
I nearly wiped somebody out changing lanes on the Westlink recently because it just doesn't get going when you want it to.
People should try an M Car with the DCT box, it's absolutely fantastic.
What is your issues with the dsg ??
Even the X5 box is better!
I have the 8 speed ZF in my X5 too and it's great!
Can't believe you're in the 30s with the MPG too... my DSG car gets no more than 25 and that's driving easy!!
Why was the exchange so stressful?
Congrats on the sale anyway. I HATE selling cars, anyone who does it for a living deserves every penny they earn from it!
Sounds like a weirdo, no keys or V5 until the cash is handed over or in your account lol. Well at least it’s away, now comes the good bit, happy shopping!
Looking forward to seeing what you replace it with
he wouldn’t go in with me
Nothing too exciting, 430/5d or X3. “We” just can’t decide.
435d all the way. In my eyes it’s pretty much the perfect car.The thing is, you could argue it was me being weird. He was happy to hand the money over, but I wasn’t happy to be relying on it being genuine!

The whole thing was horrendous, the negotiations etc too. Today he had cash and despite me arranging to meet him at the bank, he wouldn’t go in with me and took 1 key, did the paperwork before hand.
Anyway, it’s done now. Just the stress of choosing a replacement lies ahead!
