It's the second time I've had a facelift 3 litre engine, and it really is a fantastic engine, I didn't think it was possible to get much smoother than the pre facelift engine I've got but they've done it well. Which is good as the 2.2 litre engine is absolutely dreadful, sounds like a bag of spanners from the inside and isn't smooth at all.

This has all the toys too which is good, makes me realise just how I definitely should have gone for a reversing camera

Its not so much the engine as the gearbox which makes the difference on the facelift, the 8 speed is an absolutely brilliant box. My Dad has the 2.2 and while not as smooth as the 3.0 it not bad, particularly in the latest 200BHP version. He loves it, even coming from the previous v6 diesel, and gets decent economy and given the miles he does thats very important to him.

Did tell you about the camera being a must have

We'll have to have a OCUK Sydney meet when my 530i is back up and running, some awesome roads up north of the city

I'm up for that - I also believe that there is a pretty good set of twisties in the national park south of Sydney - Sydney to Wollongong I believe, call the Grand Pacific Drive. I'm going to go and scope it out next weekend I think.

Looks clean for a 10 year old car.

Probably boring to most looking at the cars on here

Not the most fun but it does the job. Coming from an 1999 V Reg Ford Ka with nothing inside other than a steering wheels and pedals its a bit of a step up lol

Nothing wrong with that at all. Nice car

Handbag?? Can provide a link if you want? What ever floats your boat

Not had a car with AC for 5 years that has worked, quite a god send in this weather!
