C.A.R. I know you've said in the past about the problems these have, and it is a major thing that puts me off tbh, there are so few about meaning knowledge is sparse, but then its mostly a mismatch from other cars so shouldn't be impossible to diagnose!
Does it change things if I say my beemer might need a new clutch which will probably involve changing the DMF - parts to the tune of £500
Dont forget though any car with more toys will have more choice of going wrong. Problem is you pay BMW tax on their parts. Pug parts are fairly cheap but the other thing is, BMWs (of that age anyway. would never own a brand new one!) are more reliable. Swings and roundabouts.
It depends on what you want. If you want something comfy with lots of toys, get the 407. If you want something that handles better (but in that comes more cost in tyres) and is a bit more fun, keep the beemer.
