:( Had my 2.2 HDI C8 for a year now. Taken it to Spain twice. Problems to date are: 1) Engine "Anti Polution Warning light comes on after 10 mins at 70mph - 2 hours later car reduces power - very dangerous if overtaking ona motorway uphill at the time. Fault "fixed" by local dealer 5 times, the last time succesfully. 2) Rear Screen Heater comes on on its own accord - dealer tried to fix it 5 times - last time claimed it was normal in cold weather. True? 3) Rear washer decided to spray inside car - wrecked rear parking sensor electrics and sliding door controller. Did this twice. 4) Sat Nav, when in an "unmapped area" crashes the radio/nav computer. Takes 5 mins to re-start (umpteen times). 5) Uneconomical for a diesel, average 34 mpg - including autoroute for 1000 miles to Spain. All "admitted :) " faults eventually fixed by local dealer, but after multiple attempts. What ever the fault, the first effort is to "clean" the connector. 2nd is to randomly change a part, 3rd is to actually investigate & fix the fault (except the engine warning light problem). Am i just unlucky or are these common problems. In any case, seems sad to have to go through this for a £23,000 car. Car seems ok now. Wish I'd bought something else - but there are horror stories about the C8 competitors too. If only BMW made a people carrier. :D
