Actually, Sarah is great because she loves cars, and she refuses to have an MPV because - quite rightly - she says they are cars for "people who have given up on life"!
in case I've offended anyone...
Moggy, your M5 is As is Gad's Carbon Black. Dammit, I've just got to persuade her that the M5 is the one for us...
Tying in this thread with the recent announcement on the E46 M3, here are some pics. These were taken on the foggiest, dirtiest day possible (today!) with our happy snap camera; my shiny new work digi camera has gone to Bristol's Royal Mail depot, because the postman didn't bother to knock when he delivered it yesterday
So apologies for the quality of these pics! I'll do some better ones very soon. This, then, is the new beater... The g/f's new car...:
Steel Grey, it is a beauty, she's so happy, and I'm really pleased for her. Looks like she's got a good'un...
What is behind the seats in the Z4M coupe when you lift the hatch? Is it a large boot space open through to the cockpit that a dog could sit in / good size suitcase or is it limited space?
It's limited space in the Z4M Coupe, because the back slopes down so much. The boot floor is not flat either, having loads of cubby holes in it (a bit like the S2000's boot), but it is supposed to take two small/one large suitcase; BMW intended it to be a mini-GT, the kind of car you could drive to the South of France in.
I thought the Z3M Coupe did have a flat boot, and it has a high roofline right back to the rear. It's been ages since I've been in one though, so my failing memory has let me down!

I just feel the X5 has done all its depreciating and even the arrival of the new one won't harm it too much... although I could be VERY wrong!
Hmmm..... you sure?
The X5 has always been a huge fashion statement car for a large number of people, which in turn has (IMO) kept the prices up. Now the new model is on the way, the people who need to be seen in the latest fashion 4x4 will be dumping theirs on the market in drives I reckon.
Always the case with fashion accessory cars in my experience.
Go with the 540 - in touring it was never a lifestyle accessory.

though, because I would adore a Le Mans Blue E39 with the Silverstone Point Nappa leather! 
for his troubles* 
Yes, my car career will be down the pan!
