Lovely car, but I can't help feeling the interior doesn't look as special as I would have hopedJust looks like a normal saloon, when its anything but.
one of the reasons BMW dont appeal to me
i totally agree and i just dont get bmw interiors.

The idea is that it's understated. They're not a track focused brand. They drop in the hugging seats for those lateral G moments and leave the rest for you to figure out. It's a car for petrol head execs who don't want the boy racer image that goes with most capable cars but you still get decent comfort levels and cruising toys. I think it slots into the market nicely.

You complete & utter ******* !

Great Car, Great Price, Great Engine, Just Great.

the interior may look bland, granted all black, but all the materials are very nice up close and you really need to sit in it in real life to appreciate what you are getting, its not garish, just neat and tidy with lots of nice little touches, I am finding it just like a cosy more compact version of the M5 in many ways.

Lovely car, incredible depreciation in such a short time. Letting someone else soak it up is never a bad idea. No doubt it will be a pleasure to own and drive for however long you keep it.
what you driving now Will? still get round the docklands area from time to time?

never said it didnt
just replied that i didnt get bmw interiors. Same way as i dont get audi interiors either.
They're just too dull and boring. Yes i know they're really well made using quality plastics, but they just look dull

Look dull compared to what though?

What interiors do you like? Not sure the purpose of an interior is to stimulate one's artistic / design side. It's supposed to provide a pleasant place to spend time in a car like that. Crazy styling and wacky "interesting" design doesn't really float my boat in a car's interior. If I want to look at modern art, I go to an art gallery.

I just dont like german interiors
I much prefer this sort of thing

which some would say looks tacky and gharish
but cant help my tastes. Like i said, i respect the quality and design that the german interiors have. Just dont find them to my taste.

^ It just lacks class for me I'm afraid.

As I'm a bit more awake now, I've just re-read the price & depreciation..... Wow!
Thats one big hit the initial owner has taken, I assume its price will at least for a while, continue to plummet.
Regardless though, you still have imo an absolute bargain.
Whats the MPG like? - Theres a chap I work with (not a driver!) who has a 57 plate like yours, he gets around 16mpg!
- To put that in perspective, my 44ton Scania with a 12litre engine manages around 9mpg...
