They're not getting my money! I'm going to a dealer in Watford on Friday to look at a silver 59 plate (20k miles) and I'm also trying to get a guy in Doncaster to shift a bit on his price a little for a 10 plate with 11k miles but no sat nav or parking sensors.
I must admit I saw a BMW 630 for sale in Northampton that I am also tempted to go look at as well.

Yeah - I can't make my mind up if I want a pocket rocket like a MPS or a cruise mobile like a 6-series.

I do really like them - but I'm just worried that if I get another fast car I will be tempted to drive every fast like I used to. Luckily I didn't ever get caught doing 140mph down the A421 every other day.....I don't know if my luck would hold out this time though. Plus the 6-series I have seen is a f**cking bargain. 06 plate - 45k miles - £11,990.

A 6-series is much better looking than a 335d, imo.

I think you should count yourself lucky that the main dealer in Northampton messed you about now at least you wont have the misfortune of having to deal with them.

Going to test drive - and hopefully buy a white one in Grimsby tonight....only 3 hours away!!
No Sat Nav or RR sensors though! :O(
I'm willing to sacrafice those though as the other car has Sat Nav and real men don't need parking sensors!!

Personally I wouldn't buy one without the parking sensors or sat nav unless and it is a big unless.....it is at a steal of a price. Something like a grand cheaper than any others but that is just me and I am sure others will differ

I'm not overly worried about Sat Nav or parking sensors and I'm going to have the car a while so not worried about residual value either!!
Deposit is down - I pick it up tomorrow!!

Nope the 3 MPS!
Picked it up on Saturday. Took the wife and kids up to Grimsby to get it - had a nice drive to Skegness and then spent the day there, then a nice drive back.
Not really had it out to give it a good and proper test drive yet as the kids were in the car.
Really pleased with it though! Will post some pics later.
