Who was that advertised by? As they are also doing 3.9% on the chucky as well IIRC.

It's all in the eye of the beerholder (or something like that) funnily enough I've got an eye test on Monday.

That's almost enough to make me regret the Disco incredible value.

Currently at the rag draggers. Made me think of you. It's like looking up the north face of the Eiger from down here

Excellent!! Chunky aren't they? If I jump in my wife's car in the driveway next to mine, I get that 'next to a truck' feeling. Somehow it kind of doesn't feel so crazy driving it.

I lost my 5 series in a car park on Saturday - normally you can see the front sticking out so dont take too much notice where it is parked.... but this time couldnt see it anywhere because it was completely hidden behind a disco 5 in similar grey colour!!

Yes, even in grey I find the D5 a doddle to find. Once within half a mile, it's easy to spot.

Although there are ex demo's on the AUC with 42% off list but not with 3.9% and I need both to make the grilles a reality....

Yep, just fooling around on their configurator for a minute or two produced a 37% discount on a base 740d xDrive M Sport - a saving of £29888 incl finance contribution of £11500, at 3.7% interest.
Worth strolling into a dealership with that in your back pocket, I'd say. Should be able to get sub £50k before you've finished your first coffee, I reckon - if you don't need any options on a car with a massive standard spec anyway

Hello,

Can you advise me products for cleaning cerium-grey part? I have many black dots, water spots etc. on mirror cap and other cerium-grey parts. My car was delivered last week.
Thanks
