I was recommended mondial assist over warranty direct, as they have an excellent record for paying out with out quibble, I take it warranty direct have been good though?.
If you buy a car after 60k I think the premiums at least double with mondial. Myne had 56k on and is £85 a month, good thing is it remains that price for the term of ownership.
If you went for one I don't think you would be disappointed so long as you can get your head around the fuel, I fill up twice a week on average.
Had an M3 before the 530d and the M5 is on another level, I was after interlagos but ended up with black with silverstone 2 leather. Would like an exhaust but not that bothered about messing with it now.
I always think if you want something and can afford it just get it, long time dead and if you don't like it sell it!.
