F10 M5 demo London area

[Milemuncher]

Good morning all

Does anyone know of a BMW dealership in the London area with an M5 demonstrator? I've been dealing with Berry Chiswick but unfortunately they don't have a car available to drive. I then tried to organise one through BMW customer services but to be absolutely honest that was a complete waste of a phone call. If anything they were so completely unhelpful it has almost put me off considering a BMW at all.

But it's a great car and there are deals to be had!!

All help gratefully appreciated.

If I were you I'd look for a more accommodating dealer just outside of town... I don't see what you can achieve on a demonstration run in London!!

Completely agree - I'm hoping to find one on the outskirts. I'm pretty sure Park Lane will have one but I don't fancy a test drive along Park Lane / Knightsbridge / Sloane Street. Bit of a waste of time!

Search for an approved used on the dealer network to test drive. I'm always upfront that I am looking to buy new, but I prefer this route as it allows you to see how well built the model is after a few thousand miles.

I had my M5 in Central London this past week - several of my colleagues were keen to be taken out in the car, but there was literally no point whatsoever when we'd have to drive 20 miles in any direction before having any chance of opening her up. Of maybe 10 miles if you include my brief use of 2nd gear in the Hangar Lane Westbound tunnel last night

Good call on the approved used test drive route. Sytner Sunningdale have one - I'll give them a call.

My local area - and I use them for servicing. Lot's of good roads of different flavours to stretch the cars legs.
