Comfort that's why I don't want a TX and they're ugly and noisy. Price really didn't come into because you get to keep them longer so it all pans out in the end. I don't consider over £20,000.00 for a saloon vehicle cheap anyway


You can buy a 2nd hand BMW 5 series diesel 2 years old for about £14K.....its a no brainer!

I learnt to drive in BMW 5 series :shock: OMG what a scary experience for the teacher :lol: :lol: Anyway after a few attempts I was booked in with a professional instructer who said I drove like a taxi driver. How perseptive of him :lol:
I can just imagine the lesson in the BM .... mobile phone in left hand... lipstick in right hand.... rear view mirror tilted towards face.... and knees doing the steering .... :wink:

I would think that the probability is that you are right handed and as such you would be putting on the lipstick with that hand leaving only the left hand free for the mobile phone.
