Tell me about the 2011-2014 S80

[quinny100]

I'm looking for the a car that's smooth, quiet, refined and has an excellent ride. Big wheels and sports suspension are out for me now, I want to waft around in comfort, but with a reasonable amount of power - I'd like not much less than 200BHP. Driver aids are appreciated - my current car as adaptive cruise and I use it a lot. Automatic is a must.

Comfort is important as 250 miles a day is not uncommon.

I was originally looking at the S60 but that's possibly a bit small in the back, but the S80 might fit the bill. I see there was a change around 2011 where the pop up screen changed to a fixed display which looks better, then around 2013 they got the new LCD instruments like the later S60 which look better.

I'm looking at a D5 Geartronic SE Lux, but there's a nice spec 2012 D4 available. Anything to look out for? Any expensive maintenance or faults to be aware of

Thanks

They are too young, I don't think they ever broke down yet.


Oh: Dealers like to charge more than BMW for service
