    Value

    2 out of 5 2.0

    I bought it new, it's fully kitted, but very expensive.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad. An economical V8, but servicing costs are quite high.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very sharp, but a little less so than the previous model.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic. I used to have a 750i L, but this V8 has just as much punch. Top speed 155mph, not bad.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Niggling electronic faults, but that should be expected with the i-Drive system.

    What can I say? Odd looks, but still classy and 19"" alloys show it at it's best.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Sublime. There is enough room in the back to stretch your legs and you could drive it for hundreds of miles, get out and feel just as fresh as when you started.
