That guy, whilst he gives quite in depth reviews, has the most annoying voice ever.

This makes the most sense really.

So Housey, what came of this in the end? Did you get one for a weekend? Is that still on the cards?

Just reading up on it. Wasn't aware it was an option.

Thanks.

I'm still deciding and I had the offer of one for the weekend, but I am trying to find one with active damping first. No point just borrowing one for the fun of it, I need to get one that matches the spec that interests me, which is not easy. Found an SE version but its a long way away. Im in no rush.

Makes total sense.

6 series is the BEST looking current BMW IMO, the Gran Coupe even more so.

Get an M6 Gran Coupe?

The only thing that is evil about the (necessary) Adaptive Drive is the fact it raises the car considerably and doesn't look as sleek or as low slung as a standard M-Sport set up. This can make the car look a bit odd IMO.

Decided not to buy once of these. Great cars that I would recommend to anyone considering an F10 5 Series, but decided to move in a different direction this time.

I am a huge fan of the PDK box. If the dealer can get to a price I want I am ordering something new tomorrow so I may part with my 911 soon (Ideally I would like to keep both so will see how finances are).

Its more or less the ideal 997.2

I'm still on the hunt for one. It's tricky finding one with the right options (at a decent price).
