The typical coolant issues that every bimmer I have owned figured they would fixed this been going on now since 1998 with the V8s, shooty runflats need wheel/tire protection package if running 20s on this car. And the dread jell feeling sticky door handles, material on door deteriorated and of course not under warranty or any recalls put out as of yet.

Comfortable luxury hybrid with good mpg

Very nice interior, sporty for a 4 cylinder, love the exterior. Have had no issues in 5 years. I average 32mpg for long drives with no charge. Average about 38mpg when charging and daily driving (drive about 60+ miles per day). I can't knock the short distance for all electric (Maybe 16 miles) because I knew that getting into it. I use the battery more for an mpg booster.
