You can’t claim VAT back on cars unless they are solely for business use. |

You can if the company buys it outright can't you?

It’s definitely a much better proposition than the outgoing hybrid. I would just be wary of reliability, especially as you suggest you will be driving mainly long distances and abroad. |

Not if you are using it for personal journeys. |

Actually, I think you're right and this is a no go 5.0......

Yes it would still be better to have the PHEV through the business without a doubt. |

Supposed to be nice engines - on the basis of the six cylinder diesels, I can believe it (and it’s not like BMW have a great reputation for engine reliability in recent years). |

The L322 BMW V8 is a completely different engine. The more recent hot vee V8 had issues in earlier incarnations but it has been heavily revised over it’s lifetime and the current N63 version is considered to be pretty good. The 5.0 SC has not been without issues over its lifetime either. Although I am on my third fault free one. |

I had the N63 engine in my 2017 750i and it was the most problematic BMW I’ve had. I did 50k miles in 2 years, but it followed 2 x 5 series, both oft which did over 100k completely fault free miles in 3 years. Nothing too serious, but it had an oil leak on the feed for one of the Turbos and a water leak that took a couple of visits to fix and on one of those visits someone hit the wing in the car park, so I was without it for over a week on top of the other days lost. Can’t really blame the car for that, but if it had been fault free it wouldn’t have been there……. You get a different level of service from BMW dealers if you have a 7 series though, no waiting for loan cars they just give you an X5 or 7 from the demo fleet, they even gave me an X5 when the 2 hour while you wait service was going to be 4-5 hours, as they didn’t have the right spark plugs ordered.

Aren’t we all beta testers for JLR ? 😂😂 our last L405 was new in 2017 on a 5 year supposedly sorted platform and we still had issues with it…..it’s part of the JLR thing. Trouble is we’ve had an new X5, Merc and Taycan since it went and none of them compare to a Rangey |
