No deal as the 5 was too new. Lesson learned, never buy a new shape car within first year of release.

Existing 5 series owner wanted a new one.

What was the dealer like?

Very courteous before the sale, fast forgotten once driven away.

Beautiful to drive. Very comfortable and quiet. Unless it is raining or snowing. When raining, it likes to kick its back end out even when driven gently. In snow, it is a drive way ornament.

Very easy, park distance sensors are great but essential as it is very long and hangs out the end of most carpark spaces.

No problems to date.

Economy, easy to drive on motorway and around town.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Bluetooth audio.
