It's not that different to my 406 :lol:
However, it's not red, and this is a good point.

Ah, which reminds me. There is one very good reason for buying a BMW: inline 6.

It's a saloon. Wide-mouthed frog front end. Umm, the rear r/h wing looks an odd shape.

I could buy a 406 for that money :shock:

Tried hard to talk myself into one - much better value for money than a low mileage 406 - but it's just not working.

Something deeply irational is going on, BMW's are starting to look reasonably priced compared to 406's. :shock:

E39 M5s are more or less the same price as 407 coupés on ebay! That's utterly ridiculous!

You'd have to be clinically insane to go from a 406 to a vectra. :supafrisk: :lol:

Exactly. :twisted:
The 2.2 is a Bosch system so should be amenable to the super tractor treatment.

E60s are still quite dear, especially if you're after 6 cylinders and don't want poverty trim level.
Anyway, which is ugliest: 407 or E60?!

I went from a 406 to a Passat, from 9yrs of owning my pug. I can honestly say I have never looked back. The only thing I miss my pug for is the limo ride and quiet hdi engine.

I have had my passat for nearly 3 yrs and fancy a change. This time an estate car and an auto. The only problem, once you have drove a car with a dsg box its hard to change.

I'm looking at leasing this time. Sensible head says passat estate. For around the same money I can lease a Merc E350 estate :-).

I agree, tough choice. :roll:
I would still consider a late. looked after E39 estate
E91's are marginally less hideous

Pasta CC look nice. What's the inside like?
Hmm: 2.0 167. I want to see power and torque curves for it.
And I bet they're well over £5k.
