Just got the beast home and WOW - amazing, crusing along on the motorway at 80mph with the cruise control doing the work is such a weird feeling 
Wound it upto 120 and it just pulled and pulled, wanted to go much faster but I don't want to be eating porrage
Absolute dream to drive, very very comfy and for such a big car its so nimble

Thats where I bought it from
The torque from low revs is stunning, really comes on song at 2500 rpm and absolutely flys
The speedo makes like a swiss time piece and moves in one sweeping motion all the way from 0 to the end

Stunning
You've got 18" parallel alloys on yours? mine are only the 17" version
lol, wide tyres tho - 255 on the back and 235 on the front
I need to change the front foglights on mine as one is cracked
My choice was either black or blue so I'm happy as hell
And the cherry on the cake is the HID headlights
The SE spec motors are a bit crap and bland looking unfortunately

If you can't appreciate that someone wants something a bit different to the norm as a dream car then your head must be so far up your arse that you need a glass stomach to see out of

That's just my opinion though you might have found a decent car there

They're awesome motors. Best looking 5 series the E39.
I hired one once and drove from Pymouth to Paisley and back. Awesome car
Fuel economy was rubbish though, but thats BMWs fault for letting you set the cruise control at 110 mph

Absolutely delighted with it Dave
Will love it even more when I can use it - no tax at the moment, and I refuse to pay for 1 months tax to get 4 days use
Shitty escort for another 5 days *sigh* lol
