finally hit 1000 miles in the 200...

[Dyewitness]

5 months after buying it!

took it for a run today, engine opening up, exhaust sounding good, got a strange creek coming from sometimes when pushing clutch pedal and in heavy rain got a leak at passenger side door where mirror meets car just like my 197.

just after hitting 1,000 in irvine at bmw garage some arsehole in a 4 wheel drive pulled out infront of me, very very close to smacking right into him.

leaving it, would be throwing money away.

it handles well but maybe after having a 197 just doesnt feel like a totally new car like when went from 182 - 197.

mileage wont be going up much soon anyway as having surgery on 1st april and also having my eyes burned out so cant drive after that for 2 weeks.

2300 miles in a week I did in the 197 couple of weeks back.

I'm not scared of mileage

WOW, that is low mileage. Shame you can't enjoy the car more.

Good luck with the op.
