Faults:

The main radiator went.

A safety relay that, in the event of a crash locks all doors and puts hazards on, went faulty and hazards kept coming on.

Washer fluid bottle wouldn't take any water in.

General Comments:

It is an extremely beautiful car, that receives plenty of attention wherever you go. Which I believe it deserves!

It's a very fast car that gives a fantastic $1million feel!

The handling is out of this world!

And for an impractical and uncomfortable super car, its actually very comfortable and practical!

The engine noise and exhaust noise is a little too restricted for my likings, as the V12 and beautiful double back box sounds out of this world when at high revs.

The original BMW sound system is still in the car when I purchased it, is absolutely state of the art. It has 6 high quality speakers, a 6 cd built in interchanger and a very expensive amplifier.

Faults:

Intake gaskets has been replaced. No problem; happens every 7 years. Has been corrected on the CSi model.

Wiper fluid bottle in the back should refill the (smaller) one in front. It doesn't. It Has been to the dealer several times and a lot of time (and money!) has been put into it. Still doesn't work. Dealer wants to replace computers. I suspect a bad contact somewhere. So replacing computers is not an option for now.

Sunroof was damaged (did not close correctly) by company who put in the certified alarm system (could not prove it). Expensive to repair.

It was quite difficult to get the alarm system working properly (took 3 systems). But it now works very well.

I had CSi mirrors on it (3 pairs in a row). They all have been stolen. It now has the standard mirrors on it.

On Board Computer pixels are dropping out rapidly. Will fix it at some point in time. New computer will have the same problem, so that's not the preferred route to go.

General Comments:

Steering lacks feed back.

Very good suspension. Will be bumpy (and uncomfortable) on bad roads. But speed bumps are not a problem.

The interior is outdated on some points, but it easily beats most cars (even other BMW's).

It has the best looking pop-up headlights.

It is a true coupe (no B-pillar).

Lots of cool features. It might be missing out on some of the high tech options which are becoming more available nowadays (like rain sensors and navigation) but its feature list is still very long.

It is a bit heavy. But comparing it to recent cars like Austin Martins, this is not completely true. If it had been lighter it would have been even faster. But luxury has it price.

I would trade it in only for a 850 CSi (still looking...).

Faults:

The brake servo needed replacing at £700.

The two batteries needed replacing.

General Comments:

The very fast car, which can do 155mph+.

It is a very well built car.

It has the looks, that most cars dream of.

The rear leg room is very tight, even for a small child.
