A good choice if I may say so. Do you have any more pictures of it?
What does it drive like? I was speaking to the owner of an absolute mint 520i in Hexham yesterday, he was saying his was a nice car to drive, cruised really well but had very little power for overtaking etc. I know with mine it's not exactly lightning fast, but has plenty of torque for overtaking - flex the right foot, kickdown, move out and I'm past as quick as a flash. But the last car with the switchable auto was just obscene.
I found out the other day why it's quite a slow car. I tried pushing mine backwards 6 feet because I couldn't be arsed starting it up, and almost gave myself a hernia. My word, it's a heavy car! But then it's a very strong shell, as I proved with the last one. So what's the spec of yours then? 520i or a Lux model? Does it have the TRX metric wheels? And is the bodykit a dealer fit option, or something fitted recently?
I'm going to bring both my cars down to yours sometime, give your neighbours something to think about.
