In 3 years of ownership I have spent £8k addressing factory born issues to keep my Brooklands on the road. If I needed to use a dealer to get all the work done it would probably be more like £10k. Did I anticipate having to spend that much? Probably nearer 50% was my original budget expectation when I bought the vehicle. Am I considering selling it any time soon? No.
To me the M3W is a thing of beauty, I admire it’s form every time I look at it and at the same time wonder what brutal problems it’s cooking up next. If it were a human character I guess it’s Villanelle who possesses a cold brutality under her innocent looking exterior.
