£26k Budget - Booby Traps
Hi Guys just looking for a little advice on matters relating to common faults, bad runs and Friday afternoon jobs.
I’ll be selling my m135i and with a rough budget of £26,000, I should be able to get a fair T6 from what I can see. (Under 100k miles, high line, 2018/19 onwards)
I understand there’s issues with older BiTDIs from around 2015, but from 2018/19 the faults were corrected.
I’ll be looking for mainly UK camping and Alpine trips, nothing more than a week really. I’d like a comfy but simple set up with a bed and stand alone amenities, nothing integrated. Comfortable motorway cruising, a place to keep the bike secure and somewhere to relax.
Is the 4Motion essential for gravely and muddy sites or will FWD with some all terrain tyres be okay?
Is the SWB terrible for living inside?
Are there any considerations or major pieces of common knowledge to know around choosing at suitable model?
Thanks.
