Padre this time

R320L CDI sport - Out

318i ES - In


Sketchy details at the moment - but apparently it has optional PDC and cruise control. Thankfully, it doesn't have runflats - BMW have punted them to the options list (£175) on all of their 16 inch shod boggo models. I'm actually looking forward to finding out how good it is to drive - I suspect it will be peachy without the hobnail booties.

I'm seriously miffed the R class has gone though - I loved driving it and I'll probably never get to drive another one again.

That's quite a change.

Have his circumstances (not financial, just space requirements) changed dramatically or was the R Class a bit of posing?

The R-class was ridiculously cheap at the time - it's come to the end of the PCP. Also, his annual mileage has dropped significantly - there is no point having a monster diesel if you no longer do the long journeys and the mileage.
