Great car, only sold mine on to finance Griff. Looking to get another soon, the only saloon car that I would buy again and again.

Hi David,

Looks like we have a lot in common! I too have a 4.3 Griff, have a past involving wedges, but unfortunately am not a man of leisure!

Enjoying the relaxed luxurious motoring the Beamer provides! Contrasts well with the electrifying “seat of yer pants” stuff provided by Griff!!

Try German and Swedish (and Fr**ch).

Hi Thatch,

Small world, I really miss my 523i, strange thing is the fuel consumption on it was around 37 mpg cruising at M.Way speeds. Around town never less than 27mpg.
Do a long distance drive of 250 miles and still fresh for more.I just need to convince my wife that we need to replace it with another. Running around in a Fiat Punto 1.1 its OK for shops but go on a run and
Enjoy your BMW, lucky s*d
