My dad has a Cayenne diesel and has had an adblue leak. Needed the entire system replacing outside of warranty.

Do you know how much it set him back?

Apologies if I missed it, but is a 3 series touring not big enough?

Not really. We go climbing so we have large bouldering mats and we will be taking things like bikes and sports equipment abroad. The 3008 has a big boot so we don't want to downsize. We already have a massive roofbox to fit all our crap in when we go on holiday.

I’m not sure 100% but with a couple of other bits it was well north of £1k

If you can stomach the looks, 5 Series GT?

I’m currently looking at part exchanging my G80 and am seriously considering the M5 Comp. Was originally looking at the RS6 Vorsprung but with the black pack it’s higher in price and the Audi APR is higher.

The only worry I have is the battery and how it will hold up over time and the depreciation. There are some brand new on AT that have dropped significantly already and I have a feeling this will get worse over the next few months.

Had my extended warranty quote today for my m440i
Pleasent surprise, comprehensive cover with a £250 excess £359

What is your worry with the battery? My F90 is a 21plate and the battery is still going strong. I get that it is expensive to replace (£800 ish) as it is a Li-Ion but considering the purchase price of the cars you are looking at and that you will pay £600 a year to tax it and about £950 a year for a warranty, the battery doesn’t seem much of a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Edit: I presume you meant the F90 as the new one doesn’t have a Comp version yet and I don’t think there will be one.

It’s more with it being a hybrid. My concern is that the battery loses life over time, as it is with full EV vehicles. This could make these cars lose even more value in the future and certainly be a cause of concern when selling.

Ah ok, you meant the new G90. There isn’t a Comp version and I don’t think there will be. Sorry no idea about the battery on that car
