I paid the deposit for my M5 this weekend!! I'm intending on getting it full options minus the towbar.
Haven't decided on the colour yet, but since the estimated waiting time is TWO YEARS I have plenty of time to decide (or go bankrupt, die etc. for that matter)

Very excited though!

Good for you, FF. The flower business must be better than retirement after all.

The tricky part is to convince my wife that this car is actually different from the one I have now. She recons it's the exact same car "apart from the plastic bits on the front"

Bless her..

I don't even want to contemplate the V.A.T or penalty tax, or whatever they call it over in Europe. The Government and most of the left-leaning Socialists over there will look upon you as a leper, won't they?
