Morning all. I need a new car and having done a pleasant 150k over 8 years in a 5 series, automatically thought I’d just get another. However I’ve noticed these are in budget now (50k miles - 2016) and was interested in people’s opinions of them? The reviews online are very good.

One question - if it doesn't have the winter pack am I scraping the windscreen on a frosty morning?

Winterpack is great, heated steering wheel, front seats and windscreen<<unless someone specced HUD.

Great cars, basic spec has pretty much everything you need, standard stereo sounds great. I'd go for R-design or Momentum either with plus pack has all boxes you'd sensibly want.

Key options to check for;
front parking sensors, you sit low and long bonnet is pretty invisible (my Golf Gti felt like an SUV after being in the V90)
Winterpack of some sort, usually gives you all the heated bits
Seat cushion extensions - personal preference but much comfier for me 5'11' normal build

2018+ introduced Pro packs - 'usually' throws in the above and other decent upgrades but not sure early cars were available with pro

V90's all came with Pilot assist which is my favourite feature for a long motorway journey, steering and throttle taken care of by computers so less tired at end.
