Only BMW one I've any experience of is my neighbour's 535d. And you really
can't hear any difference on the move. It is a bit 'diesely' at cold start
from the outside - but a small price to pay.

Same here but I bought a 730d SE '07 and it is absolutely fantastic..........

Avg mpg floating locally is 34 when I was driving 22 miles to Portsmouth
everyday on the 259 and A27 I was getting 37+ that's AM commuting and back
around 16:00.

On a run from Chichester to Alicante in Spain at Easter I got 42 - 45 cruising
around 80 - 120 in places.

Although top speed is said to be 148 the speedo has gone past 155 a few times so
I guess it will touch 150+ in the right circumstances.

Brakes are excellent and tyre wear is or looks negligible with 26K on the clock.

Would definitely buy another but if I do move to Spain it might be the 3 series
or 5 touring but I must admit I hate the centre consul gear selector after the
column one on the 7 and the 7 has a great sat-nav - don't like the 5 series or
the 3 series ones.

They have spoilt the interior on the "lesser" models and I think the new 7
inside is very similar to the new 5 ------ ???? Might be a Jag next time folks
if they don't buck their ideas up.

Never hear it from inside and it'll blow the doors of most things you'll meet at
the traffic Light GP.
