Summary
What does this car say about you?
The car loves me to bits cos I clean it every chance I get :)
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think it's great, they also think I'm a king, but then they don't know how much it cost ar how old it is with my private plate on it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
In a heart beat..... Although I would love the M5 but not so kean on a manual so a 540 will be more practical (if you call 20mpg practical) but if your looking at this, the MPG should not be a problem. Get yourself a Ford Ka for teh week days and the Bmer for the weekends.
What are you likely to buy next?
Ford Ka............................................. Na just kinding, 540 (4.4) or if I have enough money, the new M5.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very easy considering it's size. V8 is such a great engine but still good MPG, Ave 25MPG, 30 on motorways but if you like to put you foot down then you'll see 19-20 but you'll get where you going sooooo much quicker and with a heack of a smile on your face.
What's it like to park?
Parking censors do make it much easier so if it has'nt got them, fit them. I did, cost me £14 and 2 hours work, very simple
