For once I agree with Nick... one of the best looking cars on the road that doesn't cost a ridiculous amount of money!
How do you find it for noise and refinement compared to your old 5 series?

I'm likely to got for a plug in hybrid next time, and if that's in a GC then I'd be very pleased, but I think it's more likely to be in a F30, or the next gen 5 series.

Very lovely indeed.
In my eyes, this is the best f3x and the best engine. Just tell me it's not an x drive....

Lovely
I've had mine a month now and love it even more than I did on the test drive. Kinda wish I'd gone for the 30d, just for the extra thump into seat but still not sure I could justify the fuel cost difference over 18k a year. I know if I drove one now, I'd say hell to it, but I'm still loving the 20d for the mpg its giving me. I also like the balance of the vehicle with the 4 pot. I'm presuming you may still be in the same mode as I am at this stage, i.e. doesnt matter if you've had the day from hell, stuck in traffic for 3 hours on way home from work, get back into garage, sit there and think "where can I blat it to now?" and take it back out! I've done 3.5k in 4 weeks in this, due to that reason, just cant stop taking it back out! Not good for my agreed annual mileage figures, need to calm it down!

Looks stunning!
I picked up my 430d GC a few days ago and will post pictures as soon as I can pull myself out of the drivers seat whilst there is still daylight to take some pictures.

I recently had a 420D GC on 19s, courtesy car, and it had the worst ride I've ever experienced even in comfort mode.
Hope yours is a lot better resolved. Maybe the extra weight of the 30D up front helps settle things.
