Summary
What does this car say about you?
Undertated on the surface...but a performer. Not flash, but elegant.

Quietly.. love it. Lots of genuine compliments when they see it with the roof down and realise the plot.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes - because of the hook on the passenger seat for my coat. Everything else works 110%.
What are you likely to buy next?
Same again...but havent thought that far ahead. Enjoying what I have.

What was the dealer like?
Superbly efficient. A breath of fresh air compared with your very average BMW dealer in the UK who all have an unfortunate air of arrogance about them...for no discernible reason. I now understand why Top Gear treat treat BMW and their owners as "nobs"
