Might see you back, I’ve been gone for Audi and now also leaving for BMW- in fairness this time it’s because the i8 has no MB EQUAL ...I’m sure I’ll be back

Don’t know much about them John so just had a look on the BM used website, what I particularly like is that the interior across the models is very similar so you instantly feel at home control layout wise and I must admit to being very impressed with the quality of materials used on mine

Oh the joy of using the BM used website - MB take note it’s leagues better

Extremely good point on the BMW approved used site Malcolm, in this case it was cheaper to buy this route than any other route and with 12 months warranty to boot!

Yes no point in looking anywhere else John in my opinion, known history, service record and 1 years warranty a clincher really, so much so my daughter bought through the BM website a month later

Look forward to you picking it up and do post some pics (I’m sure the forum won’t mind)

Wait until the MB modular IFEP system gets deployed in 2020, can you say SL-E?

Will do and I’m guessing it will be ok!

Getting a ‘supercar’ Wasn’t something I thought I’d reach to be honest and this arguably is one ...closest I’ll get anyway !
Retirement approaches in the next 4-6 years so likely with that comes some sensibility so I’m making the most when I can afford it now with some financial mitigation ...
Can run my weekly commute 100% on battery easily and have some weekend fun when I have the time ..
No road tax or Petrol - warranty paid first year.
