Constant faults with the touch door opening, the trunk, sign-reading and the front obstacle sensors. The service repaired it under warranty five times — they replaced wiring harnesses, a sensor, uploaded software — and then gave up. They told me they don’t know what else to do. That’s the customer care at a German premium brand. A car worth over 400,000 and they tell the customer they don’t know what to do. I paid the final installment and I’m giving the car back to them. I’m taking a Chinese BYD Seal U DM-i plug-in hybrid with better equipment for 165k after a discount from 225k. With that attitude to customers and those high prices, the Germans will have fewer and fewer people interested in their cars — but they’ve only got themselves to blame!!!

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer turns the family MPV into something you’d actually want to park outside a café, pairing compact practicality with surprisingly premium cabin flair. It won’t thrill like a sports car, but it drives with the composed poise you expect from the badge and keeps daily life easy and un-fussy.

Mild hybrid in terms of mileage. It’s an excellent car. Smooth, quiet, pleasant to drive. Petrol consumption 2.9 L/100 km. Powerful — lets you overtake quickly without taking risks. One notable drawback: the navigation isn’t as accurate as Waze and takes a long time to search for addresses.
