Runs and drives beautifully Exceptionally good car on longer trips: very comfortable, all the conveniences, plenty of smooth, easy power but also very economical.

Powered by the 2.5 liter version of BMW's excellent M52 straight six engine which was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list from 1997 to 2000. Chain driven cams so there is no cambelt to change Serviced using only the correct full synthetic oil and OEM parts
