Summary
What does this car say about you?
I love driving.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Love the comfort when having a lift from me & like the look of it when driving past as I went for the slightly larger 18 inch alloys to fill the wheel arches better than original wheels.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes as it is even better than my last car and that was superb over the 3 and half years I kept it.
What are you likely to buy next?
Possibly another BMW depending on what is available in another 3 years.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Having had a M Sport 5 series previously I like the fact that the ride is a little more forgiving on the terrible roads in Oldham and surrounding area. The sports automatic gearbox allows me to select Sports mode for the changes to be quicker & the suspension firms up slightly too.
What's it like to park?
Parking sensors make it even easier.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing
What's most practical about your car?
Excellent sat nav tied with a cunning gearbox makes the journeys effortless.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
8 speed sports automatic gearbox as had manual for years and had an accident playing rugby which needed 3 operations on my calf to repair so reluctantly went for automatic...never look back as it is slick, quick and better on fuel than my old Beemer 5 series diesel!
