I cud bought the M5 for 70K ? (diplomat) but went for a 530, need to buy also a circuit for usage, like the M6 too.
just watch out wid that $hit look

DD,
You've ordered a truly FANTASTIC car. I've had the opportunity to drive one, and the car is out of this world. It's so good it's beyond words.
One problem: It's impossible to keep the speed limits. The howl of that engine...

I've booked my test drive ....my dealer is getting a "loan car' From BMWUK should happen in the next month or two
still swithering re options...I reckon the "full"leather is 6K GBP down the pan and being a big guy, I'll need to try out the active seats before comitting....def getting TV and BT but just about everything else is included!....makes it reasonable value in my mind......just hope the bank thinks alike!
Due to the fact I've 3 X Master Diesels & I use isofix seats there really is only one competitor...the E55 and I hated my last merc.
