There’s really is nothing to fault on the M50d which I have had coming up to 4 years.
The positive surprise is the mpg for such a powerful and heavy SUV. I’m tending to get low 30’s around town and mid 30’s on long motorway drives.
You will certainly enjoy the fun of driving it with powerful torque that out performs a lot of similar SUV’s out there.
I did go for the whole hog with the spec when I bought it new and I’m just coming to the end of my PCP lease agreement with 38k miles on the clock, and I would normally search for a replacement vehicle by now However I’ve been so please with my 50d and it has everything I want on it, that I’ve decided to hold onto it another couple of years.
I will ultimately want to go electric by then but at present their range, lack of charging points across Europe and costs to buy doesn’t interest me at the moment.
So you won’t be disappointed, and I’ve really nothing negative to say!
As for coding I’m not able to help here.
