Well after Roy and his Wife Laura's first Baby arrived back in Dec 08 Roy needed a bigger car than the E46 M3 so was on the hunt for an E60 5 series saloon or touring. Myself and Roy went looking for a 530d hoping to save money on fuel and just do subtle mods to keep it fairly baby friendly. We saw a fair few and were not convinced and started a our long drive home. On the way back Roy was looking on autotrader and spotted a really nice 545i Touring with a good spec. Of course he had to think of an excuse to tell his wife when we turned up with a 4.5 V8 when we went looking for a 3.0 diesel.
