Well put it this way - yes
When I had my A7 I met up with another A7 owner at ADI and after comparing systems he was gutted that he hadn't spec-ced bose because of the sound difference, just a lot more oomph and atmosphere to the sound.

On that basis, I'm even happier with my D2 - losing c£12k in value over 5 and a half years, and putting on another 100k in miles, so a mere 12p per mile..

Will do. Pick her up in the next 10 days - replacing the company car (BMW F30) which I will be glad to see the back of.

This car is from Scotland as an ex-Directors car.

Looking forward to the drive back and playing with the various toys
