Appreciate all the input on here. Whilst looking forward to my new car, I was equally concerned that I could have bought an older car for less, or a car without the same specification for less, and some older, lower specc'd, and higher mileage cars were even less still.
Apparently buying from a council estate oop north would have offered a cheaper price still.
I must thank you all for your assistance and concerns for me during this troubling time. As some of you knwo I just fancied a different car for shopping and popping to the pub. The 7 seeemed ideal, but I have been corrected of the errors in my ways.
The BMW main dealer (in Tunbridge Wells) has kindly offered me my deposit back, and I have bought a Toaureg instead.
I am not posting this on the vw forum as I will undoubtedly be told that I could have bought a better, cheaper and more reliable model if I had only spoken to some guy who may or may not have seen or heard of a car that could have been like mine, but much cheaper.
I thank you all for saving me from the horrors of BMW ownership.

Hi chaps.
Looking at a 06 730d.
Are their any known faults that i need to consider. Are they generally a good car.
had a '99 7 series and the engine went pop at 100k. Looking at a 30,000 mile car, will come with a BMW warranty.
Any advise very welcome.
And he gets 5 pages of 'I know more than you do!' Looking at a 06 730d.

Probably so he didn't have to put up with the crap that is 'pistonheads BMW forum'!! 
Seems a small sacrifice to me.

I thought it's strengths were good load area with easy loading and unloading, great visibility, a seating position similar to the Range Rover that it replaces, a large cup holder for my mug of tea, flat ride round corners and enough grunt to overtake.
but please. you tell me what you think. That is honestly all that matters. Ignore all I have said regarding this is for shopping and pub journeys, please.

[quote=boxin]Man in all inocence buys luxury car.
Then gets a load of abuse.
I dont understand
Man changes mind and buys luxury 4X4
Then gets more abuse.
And i still dont understand
In actual fact i think i do understand the OP,
I drive an X3 D auto which is absolutley the most horid car BMW have ever produced. its not even fitted with a proper mans gearbox let alone the fact is not fueled on petrol.
I think i might just as well
myself and if the OP has any sense he should do the same.
Owning a nice comfy quick car that suits your needs sounds like a good idea if you ask me, but what do i know i like autos
