Faults:

Replaced front brake pads at 123000 Km.

General Comments:

This is a very nice, reliable and relatively economical car (average of 10.5 lt/100Km), which I feel is good for a car of this size.

This model is quite highly specified, with some excellent features such as climate controlled air conditioning, automatically tinting rear vision mirrors. It is quite luxurious, quiet and comfortable to travel in.

If I have any complaints, it's that the rear vision mirrors vibrate slightly, giving a slightly blurred image, and that the front seats are a little hard (my opinion). It also has very soft suspension, which makes for a very smooth ride, but doesn't feel good as far as handling goes.

Faults:

Nothing. Usual service intervals. Changed brake pads at last 70KMs service.

General Comments:

Very very good car. My previous 'car' was a Fiat Punto Sporting, and yes it fell to pieces within 6 months.

So I flicked the remains, and bought the 02 Diamante on a recommend from a mate - who had one as a company car, and then purchased one after when he left the job as he rated them so highly.

I can see why! We have had BMW before, and I would rate this up there with a 5 series - in size, muscle, comfort, technology and drive.

Very impressive vehicle - I can absolutely guarantee it will get me anywhere fast and in style. Reliable, tough, and quiet - gets me to business meetings with the right look, and also does us for family trips round the bush and hills - woooh!
