Decided a 400se is not for me, I prefer my 350i FHC - but I want the 400se dash - anyone got one? I'm also after some advice on the best place to spend a few £k to get the car real nice ready for BBWF. I live in Cambridge, so the closer the better.

Hi Jim. Just out of interest what put you off the 400 ?

The 400se I went to see was awesome, a really good performer. However, I have to park in a dotted box half on the street and half on the pavement, and the 400se was much harder to park than my FHC, even though it had PAS. I think this is due to the visibility being quite poor; the bonnet was also way too high (I'm only 5'9'') to see properly (not as bad as a V8s though). Also those lovely OZ rims would be wrecked after a week of parking going up the kerb all the time. I also like to listen to music, and maybe talk to my passenger occasionally! In the end it was evident it would take a lot of money to get the car how I wanted it.
