I apologise if this topic has been already addressed, but having had an exceptional M340D Touring for the last two years, I am becoming concerned that our low yearly mileage may lead to future problems. My wife mostly operates the vehicle, doing a daily round journey of around 8 miles to her business, with occasional longer excursions on weekends, resulting in an annual total of 6,000 miles.
This week, during the 30,000-mile service at BMW, I expressed my concerns about the DPF/EGR, only to receive contradictory opinions: the service manager indicated that short journeys are detrimental to the vehicle, while the technician who performed the service reassured me that modern diesel engines do not present significant issues. I am becoming increasingly perplexed and would value any sincere feedback to guide me on whether I should consider exchanging my car for an M340i, which, while not the worst option, may not match the versatility and torque of my current vehicle that we truly appreciate.
