Hi Guys

I have 940 GLE turbo wagon, model 1998. Now planning to buy S- 70 model 2000. She has done 81000 Km, and is in a very good shape. I want your views on it as i have driven 940 which proved to be a very nice car in every respect.

Secondly shall be grateful if someone can tell that S-70 model 2000 is having a timing belt or timing chain?

Thanking in advance. This forum is really very interesting. People are very coperative. I have taken lot of information for my 940 Turbo wagon.

 

The S70 if a different type of drive than the 940 but is still good.


The S70 has a timing belt that should be replaced at 105,000

 

Thanks for the response. Well what if i go for a station wagon V -70 model 2001 or 2002. Any recuring problems in this car.
As discussed earlier i have 940 Turbo wagon model 1998 which has never given me any trouble and i will rate it as a very realiable car. Have driven BMW throughout my life, but from now onwards after driving this wagon will never change to any other car makers.

 

The V70 and S70 are virtually the same cars. With one being a vagon and the other being a sedan. My mother in-law has a 01 V70 and my wife drives a 98 V70. They are both very reliable cars and a lot better economically than the SUV's. I sold a Suburban to buy the V70. I like having a wagon, but could not afford gas for the Suburban.
