[QUOTE="F10 CREW, post: 721800, member: 43055"] Hi Guys, I hope all of you are having fun with our 520d. Plan to take the dive with a 2015 520d but many people I have met are discouraging me to get a 520 diesel. Issues I heard are : 1. Diesel engine not reliable here due to the lower grade diesel we get here compared to the higher grade diesel that is available in Germany. They said that first few years are ok till the diesel engine reaches about 120k whereby the problems with the engine start coming in. Anyone heard what is the maximum mileage achieved with the diesel engines? And also, was there any problems ? 2. They also highlighted that maintenance of the diesel is higher than the petrol? Anyone can clear this? 3. Is the F10 520d getting another facelift or model change anytime soon? 4. Anyone knows if the new 190hp and 400nM unit is already available in Malaysia? 5. Looks a side, old or young man's car a side, which is a better buy, a 520d or a E300 Bluetec Hybrid Diesel? Both are CKD anyway. Appreciate all the information I can get before making a decision. Yours faithfully. [/QUOTE]
