    Nah, got sweet f--k all off, but we had looked around for a while and it was priced quite well and he had just taken a grand off the price previously (had been watching it on carzone - the ad is still). Like I said, it's a fine car, but I don't know if it's the type of place I'd be happy going back to if there was a problem.

    If you're looking at the grey one, the sunroof looks much smaller than the one I had on mine. Not too sure if they changed the style or had a choice of them, but that could mean an aftermarket sunroof.

    Yeah, that's the one I had - didn't think there was a choice of them. I think it was only a £400 option, probably what bmw charge for a cigarette lighter!

    The prices seem pretty reasonable for the ones he has listed.

    I'm not surprised - it looks great! I'm hanging on to my 320d for the time being, I've put too much cash into it at this stage, and the depreciation was more than I thought it would be, so it's not really worth my while. I'll probably hang on till a 530d m-tech is in my budget. I test drove a standard 525 and it didn't do much for me, mine felt as quick off the mark.

    I think I'm sticking with diesel - getting too used to decent performance and decent economy at the same time...
