I have a 2014 Passat TDi SEL with 124k.
I was getting bored and decided to check prices on used BMW Diesel vehicles.
For those of you that have driven both, what are the pros/cons of BMW Diesels (330d/535d) compared to Passat Diesels?
Would it be worth it to switch to BMW? What do you give up...
They are low beams. Take into account that the car is in an incline.
Sure, they seem to illuminate a little higher, but so far, after 3 days of use, I got no complaints, and I drive about 1h in dark/darkish country roads with plenty of traffic.
It’s just a lightbulb that is a replacement for the original H7 bulb. No wires, no adapters, nothing.
The only issue with those light bulbs is that, like all H7 for a B7 Passat, is a lot of trouble to replace due to lack of space, just like an original H7 halogen/incandescent bulb.

- Pioneer AVH-1300NEX 6.2" Double DIN DVD Receiver Apple CarPlay Built in Bluetooth
Does anyone have any experience with them?

My solution is to keep the...
I have a 2014 with 120k. My local dealer has European mechanics that learned diesels in Germany, and always treat my baby right.
The only problem I has was the “fix”: now is very difficult to even get 730 miles in one tank when before 800 miles was pretty easy.
What’s this deauto led you talk...
The original Contis on my 2014 SEL lasted me around 63K miles.
Now, the replacement Contis (from the dealership), after around 40K are in really bad shape: wall issues, one tire with a blown tire, another shows signs of about to go down too.
So which tires do you recommend for NC? (lots of rain...
Wow! You're getting with a GSW the same range I get with my Passat! Impressive!
Last year by this dates I was in Charlotte.
