Nothing, but there is a strong smell of oil sometimes however after long drives. The car will be checked out by my local mechanic soon.

General Comments:

Black coupe, original five spoke BMW alloy wheels.... this car is gorgeous.

Coming from driving a 2010 Audi A5 which was a great car, this 2016 BMW 4 series is slightly better in every way.

Very solid feeling car. Interior is perfect. The car in general is in perfect condition, looks almost new. Bought last year at seven years old. Now at eight years old, I think I overpaid, but all cars like this are overpriced. Reasonable mileage for its age however. I expect if taken care of this car will hold its value despite the mileage climbing, which it will as I plan to use this car more.

418d SE model is a good one, nice balance of equipment and features, along with a punchy 2.0 diesel engine. The drive is amazing, and taking it slow you can still get around 50 miles per gallon or more. The handling has to be driven to be believed, it inspires confidence, but only from those who know what they are doing. Manual gearbox setup with an old school manual handbrake - it is a driver's car.

If you have the money, they are well worth it! I'd avoid BMW main dealers, find a friendly independent to keep service and repairs costs down if you can.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
