      Truthfully? The price I got for it meant I made a profit after putting nearly 9,000 miles on it. So I ordered a brand new one which is arriving in a couple of months. Added driver assistance pack too for good measure.

      Awwww thanks. Killing me not having a drop top in this weather, but it’s worth the wait for a new car.
      Also, I’ve isolated for last week and now have covid so another 10 days. Miss most of the good weather ;)

      I wish that I had as visibility out of the passenger side isn't too good and the blind spot thingie is quite useful.

      I much preferred BMW's old policy of pick & mix optional extras as the current packages tend to be things that I would like mixed with things I don't care about. I bought the parking assistant package but all that I wanted was the reversing camera but that came packaged with the awful lane change warning facility that forcibly drags you back into your lane when pulling out to overtake which I have now switched off and I don't trust the parking assistant enough to use it anyway

      See Ian, I quite like the packs. Gives you a lot of spec for your money.

      The lane departure thing is standard on the g29 m40i (maybe all g29). I just disabled all of it except rear parking intervention and collision detection.

      I’ve never had blind spot detection until my current electric car. I find it quite useful. Also looking forward to adaptive cruise control.

      That's another thing with limited appeal for me as it's more suitable for motorway driving which I do very little of nowadays
