    I find BMW in general to have very poor legroom. One of the reasons why I wouldn't buy one.

    My e39 5 series has a tonne of legroom in the back. And the 7 series is even better for legroom.

    Here are more of his ads. Sounds like an over-excited 5 year old is writing them up.

    Completely puts me off an ad.

    Yikes he sounds like he shouldn't be out without minder, not to mind selling 16 cars.

    Well if you're buying it for yourself, you'd be sitting in the front. :pac:

    Yeah, and then nobody could sit behind me! I'm 6'5" (1.96m).

    I haven't been in one of those but the newer 5 and 3 series are bad.

    F01 730/40 LD will be my next car, mental rear legroom in them.

    Agree re. the new 5 series though, it isn't great

    I wouldn't say the E39 is big back there, decent but not overly big, my Dad's current Mondeo would compete with it while his previous Superb had far more.

    LOng wheel base is an F02; mine is a 750Li. Lots of rear leg room but I find the front entry doors very tight (I'm 6'5") and find I cannot get in without rubbing my shoulders.

    I found a set of colour matched Wong mirrors with stainless steel fittings, €86... Safer and will last longer than second hand ones.
    Ohhh!!

    Really I just need to sort that, the alternator and a service for NCT and summer fun...
