Test drove one this week - been a Beemer owner for ten years (for motorway miles) quite liked it. Any views?

This probably isn't particularly useful to you but my Uncle has one in Black with the Sport trim package.

Aesthetically I think it looks lovely, though obviously black is slightly harder to keep clean.

I've only been in it twice, but the power was delivered smoothly and even with the Sport trim (wheels etc) the car felt smooth on the crap roads of West London, it was a comfortable place to be. Unfortunately he won't let me drive it since I'm under 25!

Nice interior, nicer than the current BMW 5 series I feel but that's obviously personal choice.

It's main use so far has been 15 mile journeys in rush hour to Kingston, but that's still delivered 350-375 miles from roughly £70-75 of diesel which seems pretty good. (My Uncle is happy with it because his previous was a Range Rover Vogue Supercharged!)

Afraid I can't say more than that but no doubt there will be others around to help
