Well it finally arrived, and picked it up Friday night! All I can say is - WOW..
Awesome car. Never thought of getting a diesel before reading these forums, but I'm very happy I did. I can't believe how much they've moved on since I last drove one.
Not sure if anyone has any more info on this, but we have not received the navigation disc yet. It is on order, and when the saleman tried to check up on it to find why it had not arrived it is listed as 2006-2 Special edition and the normal 2006-2 is no longer listed. Have they fixed the postcode entry? I will let you know when it turns up and I've had a play.
Here are some pics. Wasn't sure what the size limit is so have reduced quite a lot.

I wish we had the tax breaks here you get in Guernsy. I guess, though, your e60 will spend quite a bit of time on ferries looking for new roads and new challenges!

Black Dakota in your sig? Maybe I'm colour blind.
