Well I have gone and done it.
52 plate BMW 745i with all the toys in black metallic on 19" rims.
Did look at A8's but the 4.2 V8 was getting into daft money for a daily runabout considering it's only going to do around 8k a year.
I do like the 7 - it's grown on me in terms of looks throughout it's life. DRives very well, good sharp handling for a big car - felt it was on a par with the Jags I've tried) plenty of power on tap from a very well respected 4.4l v8 and a boot big enough to cover just about all eventualities.
Plus this one has the luxury of a serious 17 speaker hi fi, heated ventilated seats, soft closing doors, tv etc etc. Hope all the gadgets keep working!
So there you have it - BMW benefit from me having a Morgan - as as I liked the engine so much I bought it in a different car!
Should pick it up later in the week after it's had a proper polish. Having see the detailing on the other cars in their forecourt (this one is not done in the photos) I'm seriously considering getting the Morgan done by them.
It's a big ol barge and theres no getting away from it, but finally it has become necessary to have proper everyday transport.. Having said that if the summer is nice it's going to sit int he sun gently fading while the aero gets used. Had a great run out this morning through the chalfonts and found some lovely windy stuff that was fun without requiring over zealous application of the right boot...
