Picked up the Macan today after 6 days of paint correction and ceramic coating. They also repaired a rip in the leather on the drivers door, looks good as new now, in fact better than new. The inside was coated too, well impressed. (The Maclaren is obviously not mine, but it was in the showroom along with the M3 CSL)

As thread title, saw this come up on the e60 today on the way home from shopping, 135,007 miles - as Karl Stromberg said.... "Observe, Mr Bond, the instruments of Armageddon."



And, if this works



In my defence a) I nearly made it.... b) Well, I had to get out... c) It was in the shade, and d) it's a BMW, of course so maintains it's natural distance

Hello all,

Hope you're all keeping well.

Been a while since I posted, thought I'd update the BMW situation now I'm back in one.

I sold the Subaru 6 weeks ago after being approached by an enthusiast whose 2.5 had given up the ghost.

So decided to come back to the fold and bought myself a nice manual 2007 E90 320d in black with beige leathers and a decent set of wheels.

After a month driving the 3, I missed the convenience of an automatic and the comfort the Subaru offered. So I decided to sell the E90 through my dealership and started looking for a comfortable 5 series.

After looking at a few E39s it became clear thst tidy examples are becoming increasingly hard to find, and the M5 is still a dream but I cannot justify spending 12k on one at present.

So I turned my attention to an E60. I've never been a particular fan of this shape, always preferring the F10/E38/E39 but wanted to try one.

I found an example at auction, black on black, 2005 530d with high miles (190k) but...
