Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Beautifully smooth on the motorways even with the 19" wheels. Pulling away can be an issue as does have a delayed reaction when at junctions. Not as economical as the figures suggest. My 520d beat this hands down.
What's it like to park?
This is a big car. Always back in as no parking sensors on the front. But overall not to bad.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
3000 miles in and nothing wrong what so ever. Must say possibly taking a gamble buying from an independent as no real comeback if things do go wrong.
What's most practical about your car?
Blue tooth phone connection. A must if to be used as a second office on the road.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The 19" upgrade wheels with the silver paintwork make the car stunning to look at. Also the media system integrates well with smart phones giving ease of use.
