Ahhh cool. Sorry, was out earlier.
I got your trust so I'll drop you a message at some point
So I have now had the car for a while and I'm getting the feel of it. I hated it at first but its now growing on me. Not enough that I would want to keep it for too long but I just did a 5h drive across the county in it and its such a good cruiser. I even got 26 mpg out of it. If you don't mind literally burning money and want a big, quick, comfortable boat to drive around this will fit the bill.
Its got so much power its unreal, absolutely no traction in the wet but not bad at all in the dry.
When you put the steering into sports plus its actually very focus with good feedback.
I am really pleased I got to own a big fast V8 but for me its not the right car and it will be moved on very soon.

Pretty awesome. I agree, it's nicer than the 5 series cockpit.

It's exactly the same apparently.
I've already requested a new interior under warranty as mine doesn't look like that
So I sold the car today, I am more or less even on it but I will be glad to see the back of it.
I think I have done around 600 miles since November, I have always wanted to try a big V8 and a proper M car. Its now out of system.
In terms of running costs its not been too bad, insurance was £1k, road tax £500ish, £80 for one months warranty that I paid on it since the warranty expired, £260 fine I got because I forgot to pay the road tax.
I have started looking for something else now, I don't really know what, I will keep the I8 but it would be nice to find something else different, maybe a SL500, X6 50M or something equality stupid to entertain me.
