Hi guys,

Going for a test drive in one of these soon (2006-2011 model), and just wondering if anyone has any experience (good/bad) of them?
Looking for something other than a 5 series.

Thanks

I test drove one ages ago. Quick in a straight line and comfy was the only plus points. The CVT box is an acquired taste, you can really tell it weighs a lot in the corners, the boot is tiny because of the batteries.

Thanks, I've not heard great things about it in some of the reviews I have read, so the test drive is off for now.
Sticking to 5 series me thinks
