Nice. My 530d SE was a much nicer car all round than all the m sports of all derivatives I had after. Looking back, m sports just make you a bit tetchy behind the wheel

I like it's busy-ness/technical look...although I can appreciate a calmer face too. Would like an IWC pilot but they are, in many ways, quite similar

At least they are all "achievable" to most...other than the Uber porker.

Still a grade A knob tho πŸ˜‚

Three things startle: 1) most of the ranting is from folk who dont and never have invested in the brand 2) an ad campaign is an ad campaign. It's not a car 3) WHY TF does it matter what colour they painted it.

Some seriously odd people about that need psych help

Hungry? Why not visit our KFC? We have a fantastic festive chicken meal that looks like the Grinch knocking one out.

Given the cost of build for small volume vehicles I suspect the "new" one will be rather more expensive than even the "Ford tax" originals
