Congratuations! they are beautifully built cars. I drove one on Saturday, it felt really fast, faster than 5.5 to 60 imo and it doesnt sound much like a diesel to me, my M6 at idle sounded rougher than that lol and for approx 500 a month it represents amazing value if you can handle the low mileage if not the penalties are quite high imo.

My problem is two fold

1) ill probbably do 25000 miles this year which isnt really an issue thinking about it ill just claim more mileage,
2) my main worry is what do i buy in 2 years without feeling like im driving a shitbox? The interior quality on these cars is amazing so im going to have to be lucky and hope there is another cracking PCH deal out or spend 1000 a month or lower my expectations.

Whats your take on this mate?
