    Blown turbo in BMW 520d
    Answered by Paul Gover · 27 April 2015

    BMW Australia spokeswoman Lenore Fletcher replies: "We have managed to reduce the initial repair bill to $6323.40. In addition we will also be providing the customer with a VIP loan vehicle for the duration of the repairs."

    Good price for a 520d?

    The mileage is at the lower end of the expected range for a 2008 model, so that's good, and assuming your description of its condition is accurate I would expect that you would get $23,000-$25,000 on a private sale.

    YOU won't have any degradation in safety by switching to a conventional tyre, and the ride will be much better. You'll have to carry a spare of some sort, but that's not a huge issue on your car. Or you could carry a can of foam repairer to get you out of trouble if you have a puncture.
