    Thats the place I got my 525d from about 18 months ago. Adrian there was very easy to deal with, I got loads of details about the car over the phone. He reserved the car for me without a deposit and I travelled over a few days later to pick it up.
    Got a Ryanair return ryanair flight to Bristol for about 45 quid and booked ferry from Fishgaurd that I could cancel and get refund. Was prepared to walk if car didn't meet expectations.
    It was exactly as described and in perfect nick, full BMW history I had already verified. HPI checked out good. There wasn't much movement on prices but I got 700 quid off list as warranty was no good to me. It was direct from BMW finance, one owner as a lot of their stuff is.

    Paid by Bankdraft, had sent a photocopy to them day before I travelled so they could verify with issuing bank.

    All in all was a very easy transaction and I'd be happy to use them again. They are a small enough outfit but specialise in higher end stuff. Always seems to have a few 325's, 330's, M3's and X5's in stock. I still check their site now and again to see if a decent value 535d shows up!

    Just what I wanted to hear. I've got return flights booked for Aug 28 as I'm heading to a festival in Devon but could cut it short and pick this up, I've been on the look out for a while now.

    I'd be happy with 700 quid off. All in all you seem to have had a great experience, I'll be ringing them shortly. Thanks...

    I like the colour. It's not very common.
    Interior is also nice. Mileage not too high.
    What does the VRT bring the total to?
    If you've driven something similar and are happy with that type of car, then go for it. Nothing wrong with a 2.5 manual.
    Don't listen to the people who'll say you're mad getting a 2.5L engine.
    :D
