MickyC I'm prepping my 52 plate 55k, FSH 4.4 V8 Sport just now, black w/grey and most goodies you want except comms (sat nav - but has fitting for tomtom). I have a new E70 getting picked up at end of month so it's roughly couple of weeks from going on sale. Let me know if this fits your bill. You c...

Update on the Service Inclusive - going for the plus variant, they want £1600 for this over 5 years - anyone managed to "haggle" this down - probably too late as i've long since done my deal :headbang:

Re: Valuing my 4.4 Sport
