Really loving the spec and consistency of servicing intervals on this one, sounds like a great example.

The Dpad on the steering wheel looks like it's full of thumb gunk so for that reason, I'm out.


Welcome to the early 00's diesel barge club, Chris.

Isn't it that "soft touch" coating that was so popular ? IPA will clean it up. The chemical IPA, not the beer.

That leaves more IPA (the beer, not the chemical) to drink. Cheers!

I'm not sure you could get a greater polar opposite to the 7!

Cheers gents, drove it to work today and can confirm the sound system is pleasingly beefy Also played with the mfd and settled on a favourite screen.



Disappointed no one's mentioned powerfully built company directors yet btw.

A rev counter seems a bit uncouth for a vehicle of this calibre.

Almost a pity it isn't a 7er though, just to be able to say "I've gone for something completely different and replaced my 7 with a 7".

That would be my favourite screen too. Currently, anyway. Can you hack it so that any error messages just read 'Live Laugh Love'?

A great place to spend some money.

Very long drives await, just because.

Dave!

Or if he'd kept the 7 there would be this conversation:


"Which car are you taking today?"

"The 7"

"Which one ?"

and if it was you you'd go "which one do I take today? <Thinks> oh ...oh ...".
