Has your new baby arrived yet
It was supposed to be at the dealer (Lind @ Ipswich) on Tuesday (9th May) but it didn't turn up and won't now until Monday
Hopefully I can pick it up next Saturday - the wait is killing me!

My heart was always the fastest the biggest sound the better I still luv M5 and also the V8, but as this is my first ever diesel car, I am sold to it may be forever, the sound is good-not comperable to any petrol- but the performance is ok, spec now w 265hp, but next wud be not the 550i either as I look at the prices here. 535d to 350hp and I think that is quite enough on Autobahn or track and the speeding "cure" the lack of the beast's sound, but actually so far those aftermarket (quads) I heared for Ds were not bad at all and performing very nicely

Are you a petrol head? Do you prefer the wicked sound of the straight 6 or the fantastic smooth roar of the V8 as you're propelled at an alarming rate towards the sunset. Vote now!
Or
Are you a dieselhead? Do you like the thrum of the straight 6 fuel sipper with that fantastic midrange instant response. Vote now for the derv!
Sorry if this is a repeat poll but what the hell, come on everyone vote away.
