My BMW 116d was due to return to the leasing company in June 2022, being 5 years old. I kept the car a little bit longer, but had to turn it in at last.
So my thoughts on 3 years and over 100.000 kilometers with this BMW 116d LCI Efficient Dynamics Edition, and what will be next?Car used: BMW 116d LCI (MY2017 / F20)
My BMW 116d was due to return to the leasing company in January 2021, being 3.5 years old. However, they asked me if I wanted to extend the lease for 1 year. As I did not fancy a different car and was happy with this one, I agreed to extend the lease to January 2022 or 209.000 kilometers.
But that posed a different question, what kind of car will be the successor to the BMW 116d? These are my options: 1: revert to a mobility budget and buy myself a car 2: get a new leasing car As I am a BMW fan I was thinking that option 1 was the cheapest way to get myself a BMW, as I was looking for a second hand BMW 320d Touring that is about 4 years old. But then I was looking through the leasing configurator, and found the well-priced BMW 320e.In this video I was driving my BMW 116d LCI (MY2017 / F20) on the motorway, and suddenly I experienced a drop in power combined with hickups every few minutes. What was going on, and would I make it home?

As you can see some part fell of a truck an hit my bumper, which caused the fog lights to fall out. In the same week some construction workers hit my left passenger door, causing further damage. And to make it complete, the 116d was also due for an MOT (APK).
