They'r a bit fugly in the 4rse, but for sub 5k. I'd take it in a heartbeat. BM's do drive well, and the quality of the Idrive is something Audi could learn from

They're OK, just OK, nothing special. That one is far from fully loaded and you can find them for a lot less than £4k. Mate of mine bought a 54 plate 730i recently, similar spec for £2200. I'd actually choose that over the V8 in the E65 personally.

iDrive is a pain to get used to but eventually you find it quite intuitive and advanced for a car from 2003.

I like my BMWs, as you all know, but that era of 7-series is damn ugly, no thanks, not much more would get you into the much better looking facelifted car

Not a big fan of them, massive on the outside and I'm sorry, but ugly as hell.
Not saying is a bad car as I have never drove one.

'Fully Loaded' usually means it isn't and is really, really, really annoying
