Dull post this, but wanted to get it off my chest.

Spent the morning in a 740d, 61 plate, 40k on the clock (yes thats epic mileage for such a young car).

What a machine though, not sure on the specs, but it was relentless torque, and felt 911 quick once on the move. Super comfy in comfort mode, a proper waft mobile, but sport+ really sharpens things up. Surprisingly easy to drive considering its size, but does feel a big car.

Interior was simply lovely, the instruments are particularly nice, gearbox silky smooth, a nice engine note. Said 34mpg on the trip too!

So much want!! It just seemed such a massive step up from the old shape 530d I've spent quite a bit of time in.

I can see why you like them, i have always been impressed by them & the twin turbo diesel motor is sweet for an oil burner & i bet they are really nice to travel in.
