With doing slightly less miles in work but more importantly, miles that are more civil on a car - main roads & motorways as opposed to short journeys up every wee road and lane over the country I took a notion of changing the Skoda to something a bit nicer. Looked about at a few other E60's then @suckindiesel pointed me in the direction of this one. I'm the type that buys on spec, condition and how something has been looked after over having to have the lowest mileage and newest of everything - something nice about finding something older that has been well maintained.
Owned by a funeral director in England until 4 years ago with a pretty fussy owner since then, this thing had the option book thrown at it when new. Adaptive cruise, active bi-xenon lights with high beam assist, heads up display, traffic info, keyless entry & start, TV, memory seats & sunroof to name a few of the fairly rare options included.
Really enjoying it so far. Mrs Little is happy (happy wife = happy life
) as it has heated seats and I'm finding that I'm using the options that I thought were silly novelty's more than I thought - heads up display is great at night on a road you don't know, speed and sat nav details there right in front of you without having to take your eyes off the road. Only small minus is difference in fuel economy over the Skoda - 30ish mpg vs 50+ mpg.
Only the one quick snap for now - hopefully get a few more at the weekend when I get it cleaned up to my liking! Busy getting the driveway done last week so haven't got near this yet.
