Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Superb. Just part ex'd a porsche carrera 2 for this and I'm not disappointed. Searing acceleration, direct handling especially in sport mode, pretty smooth ride considering 19" run flats. Of the 43 cars I've owned this is the best all rounder yet. Great car.
What's it like to park?
Easy with front and rear parking sensors and iDrive, just watch those alloys on kerbs though.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No not yet
What's most practical about your car?
You don't buy one of these for practicality. You buy it for speed, build, performance and sheer driving enjoyment and it meets all those requirements brilliantly. For a 4.6litre V8 I can get 30 mpg on a leisurely run on the motorway. Hammer the accelerator though and you'll be seeing 15mpg.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The sat nave on idrive is slick and the headlights could light a football match.
