Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Wow 2.5 V6 LOVE IT thought when i bought it it was goning to be slow for a big saloon but its not. you put your foot down and it shifts. Driving round town is easy could leave it fourth all day. On the long runs wow you put it fifth and forget about it but watch your speed as you don't feel that your going fast till you look at the clock and see 90+ The 2.5 V6 is fab the sound makes me melt better since the exhaust was done at exhaustsuk sound excellent The grip is excellent but if you push you can have fun sliding sidewards but all in fun. it even goes in the snow yep not a problem.
What's it like to park?
Parking the car is easy I'm only 5 foot 10 and i can park it where ever very easy to move at low speed. parking bays at shopping centres put in forwards or reverse no problem.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Oh yes the fan motor was the first this was a common fault when the car gets to the 57000 miles mark BMW part. after that it had a knock on affect the thermostat housing had gone this led to the car over heating which has led to the top inlet manifold rattling. all easy to fix so not that bothered but wish i new about the fan before buying the car and would have had it done stopping the knock on affect.
What's most practical about your car?
Huge boot i have a 12" sub in mine and still tons of room for bags and all sorts fold down the rear seats its even better.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Has to be the climate control the car stays at the temperature you set its just nice to sit and be at a nice temp not to hot or cold. the 6 cd changer and sound system is all so good.
