Hi all,

I'm looking at buying a 7 series, either 3.0 diesel or petrol for a regular daily commute, approx 800 miles a week, I like the look of a 50/60,000 mile car with a budget of £15k. Is this a good choice? what can i expect in terms of running costs (exc fuel tyres), should i be looking elsewhere? and what essential gadgets should i make sure of?


I need a large car as i am 6ft 6" and have a family i need to transport at weekends.

Any help/advice appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You get a mileage allowance? Its the only way i'd consider driving something like that over those miles.

Get one without a sunroof and you'll be very impressed.
