Drove home and 2 days later the rear air suspension failed completely and he was told that no parts are available as BMW no longer made them !!

He now has a CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake on order....
Well the saying goes Steve "you only live once" so I am living it.
Sure fuel consumption will be heavy but performance will be high, so

Plus the car is so comfortable and TBH unique as I have not seen one in my county.

PS) had the offer of the very last "Special edition E60 M5", took it out for a day and could not get out of it quick enough, "A real DOG"
Noisy crap gearbox, fuel consumption "Horrific" , this M5 is light years away from that one.
