I nearly shat myself in a 630i once! wink
Suspension is miles better on the 535d thumbup

Doesn't have the same issues through the great park, I've checked twice, tonight (I reckon it could beat the 630 traffic permitting too) hehe

Shall we meet at the pub by the ferrari garage and take it from there then?

Traffic permitting I should imagine it will trounce the 630.

Yeah I am up for meeting at that pub, from what Nigel was saying I believe the ferrari garage will be on the right as you pass it and then you take a left at the roundabout and the pub is somewhere down there on the right.

Friend of mine has been running an M5 for about a year and a half now, including an LM trip. Happy to pass on the details if you want a break down of life with one. He's pretty straight-talking when it comes to cars.

Oh, and 50 quid?

Why do you keep resisting Ben?

Cerb - no way unless I win the lottery, I think I've done around 20,000 miles in the last 12 months in my car and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to afford that in a Cerb.

Something else, maybe in the new year but my plan of keeping my car is still the best one as I think it'll see me having a Cerb quickest and I can keep my wonderful reliable yellow car to. rolleyes

umm... well er, does that include the new engine or not?

If it wasn't for the fact most of the suspension appears to be consumable (frequently) on the bloody thing it wouldn't actually cost that much and just about manages 25-30mpg.

Get it running, sell it and buy the M5. You know it makes sense... Or get a TVR and spend your life worrying about things such as "did I remember to oil the chassis this week because if I didn't I'll end up with my arse on the tarmac" and "if I lock the car when I'm in it, will I ever get out again?"...
