New car hunt - tomorrow's the day!
Discussion
Seeing both BMWs on Wednesday.
Arguably the Lexus is the better cruiser with more kit etc it may lack the excitement that I would want. The flare of a V8 with a breathed on exhaust, the ability to select the gear you want and the coupe shape is what I desire more.
Spoke to the black coloured car's owner yesterday and he seems like a nice chap but I have noticed that it does not seem to have bum warmers? I do like the silver one and they are within 5 miles of each other. The bit I don't like as much is the price.

Another update:
Went to look at the silver BMW 650 today and all good.
The car has hardly a mark on it other than a small scratch on the front near side alloy. Body work is great as is the interior.
New discs and pads all round with the only advisory on the MOT of slightly corroded brake pipes but that has been the same since 2009 (any idea on cost to change?). Tyres are Bridgestone Potenza run flats with good tread and the ride, surprisingly, was not bad at all and no tramlining (my Z4 was terrible for it!).
Car drove well with the power you would imagine, no shimmy or shaking and braked hard and straight.
The exhaust has switchable baffles giving the choice of V8 bark (a little OTT for long distance cruising) or push the button in the key fob and it switched to quiet V8 like it came out if the factory.
If I want to go ahead we have agreed on £11,000 which is reasonable I think?

It's reasonable if it ticks the boxes for you. A manual is rare as is low mileage. Mondial Insured warranty is cheaper under 60k miles too, so purchase and get as much as you can sorted.If I want to go ahead we have agreed on £11,000 which is reasonable I think?
