That’ll clear the fast Lane with ease… As if I'd buy it just for that .. .. .. I wouldn't have a white car Ideally, neither would I, but they're not as bad as black for keeping (relatively) clean-looking. It's as much to at least have a drive of one, which I've not managed yet. |

Well, couldn't get away from work in the end, so will have to wait til the weekend now - if it's still there by then! Still, as we say here, "what's for you, won't go by you". (I've Anglicised that for all you Southerners!  ) |

The recall is likely to be the EGR valve that needs replacing. I had it done on my 435D when I started to get a smell of exhaust sometimes. It always seemed to coincide with the times I had the sunroof open but BMW knew exactly what it was when I mentioned it and the sunroof was just a coincidence (or maybe the increased airflow helped suck more exhaust in to the car)

That’s a lot nicer spec than the white one (panoramic roof, sport auto, contrast stitching etc) |

That would've been infinitely preferable to why we were travelling! |

That IS nice, but a bit too dear for me. Sadly, I have had to lower my sights a little on the finance front. |

Even with wriggle room, I think that's a bit more than I'd be comfortable with. Picky of me I know, but having seen and sat in a few M-Sport cars now, I much prefer them over the SE. |

Always wanted a VRS, but not sure now. And I was never as big a fan of the Superb as Herself was - not sure about them at all. And they're a bit far away for ease of viewing! |

I’m sure this is totally not what you’re looking for but it simply struck me as a pretty decent value BMW when I was idly browsing Autotrader for no better reason than I had some time and have the car change itch. www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202302104128546 |

In different circumstances I'd be seriously tempted by that (if not the running costs!) |

I know its more but its a G31 over an F11 and as such a huge jump in car over the 12% ish cost difference. |
