Just to chime in on the MPG thing; highest I ever knowingly got in the Legend was 26. And I once managed 12 in town.

Does foxholes bmw have to be an m sport and does he want petrol or the devils juice?

Petrol only!

SE or M-Sport doesn't matter to me to be honest, I'd be happy with either but M-Sport would be preferred

Seen this and thought of you, don't know if it's an SE though, I'm not too up on the BMW specs!!

Don't know how that one slipped by my radar! That's an SE model but has all the good spec on it. Manual to boot too! Interior doesn't look like it's done 130k miles at all!

Unfortunately I won't be in a position to buy until September/October right now as I only have half what I think I'll need

I see, I are impressed

When and if mine packs it in, I'm after a legacy estate, or something totally different, 4 door r34 skyline or some craic, more different the better in my books, having said that, jaysis i'd love a tvr tuscan

I forgot the A6 Avant in that list! Probably between the V70 and 9-5.

September/October will be packed with test drives that's for sure. My one gripe with the Legacy is the interior, I don't think I could live with it!

Search for a moo one, if you're testing any 9-5's I'll come along and ask a few 1000 questions, all of which will probably be met with "ah yeah she was done there a while ago" or "whats that?? I didn't know it even had one of those?!"
