Hi Guys, BMW virgin here so be gentle with me. I've had Audis for the past twenty odd years and love them, my current being a A5 3.0 tdi quattro, but ever since the e89 came out I've loved it but practicality deemed it unsutable. Until now. Just put a deposit down on an alpine white, 59 plate 3.0i sDrive automatic. It's being moved up to the northeast so I can try it out and hopefully purchase. It is fairly low mileage at 39k and going through the previous mots, it's only been doing between 2.5k and 3.5k a year. Sounds like it's been a second car.
Anyway I'll be picking folks brains about the do's and don'ts over the next few weeks.
Cheers
Simon.

Hi Simon. As a 59 plate E89 S Drive 30.i owner I can confirm (subject to the vehicle) you will not be dissapointed. Like the one you are looking at mines a low milage 27,000 and is my second car. I recently almost advertised it for sale but took it out today in the sunshine and I was won over again.
God luck with the drive hope it comes up to expectations.

Hi and welcome, Simon.
Same engine as my E86 - and it's a cracker. I hope the test drive goes well! Then you can post some photos.
