New toy
Simply couldn't resist it and, at £34k off list, it was an offer I couldn't refuse:
F12 640i, Registered Sep '11, 1300 miles, 5 year service inclusive, showroom condition plus the following:
3AG Reversing Assist camera
323 Soft-close doors
4AS Dark Grey Poplar wood interior trim
4KS Contrast stitching
4ND Instrument panel with leather finish
488 Lumbar support. driver and front pass.
5AC High-beam Assistant
5DL Surround-view
5DP Park Assist
5GB BMW Tracking
524 Adaptive Headlights
6NF Telephone USB audio interface
601 TV function
610 Head-up Display
614 Internet
654 DAB digital radio
677 Loudspeaker system - BMW Professional
8TH Speed limit display
ZGH Dynamic package
2H9 20" V-spoke style 356 alloy wheels
3MB Exterior trim. matt aluminium
456 Comfort seats. front
Can't begin to understand why anyone would pay over £900 for a car TV and I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to try the Park Assist, but it's one hell of a lot of car for the money and, after 1k+ miles, I thoroughly delighted.
The handling is superb - like a compliant version of my old E92 330d M Sport, but with none of the crashing. The steering, being electric, hasn't got quite the same degree of feedback, but it's a vast improvement on my 535d.
And as for the sublime 6 cyl petrol - what an engine...
