How come? How do you know it was this one? Don't think it would have been to be honest. Been sold (to me) since it was transported up from London.

This is my local dealership and I told them I wanted to drive a newer build than mine (mine is a 60 plate) and took it for a spin on the M55 on Friday.

Shock Horror. The dealer let you drive a car already sold?

Whether you did or you did'nt drive this particular car, you may want to think about stirring up unnecessary trouble between a guy who has just spent alot of money on his dream car and his dealer.

Personally even if I had driven it, why would I actually choose to take the shine off his purchase for no other reason than I can?

Agree with Piers 100%.

Still, a very very nice car.

Ha, yeah apparently the day before I collected it? "Sorry Sir someone wrote your car off on the M55"

Whatever.

Not sure this even happened.

They have a lot of F11's in Space Grey.

FWIW I think it's highly unlikely. If BMW found out that a dealer had allowed someone else to test drive a car purchased by someone else all hell would break loose. As soon as I bought my car on Saturday it was locked - I locked it - and it would have been removed from the showroom later that afternoon or at the latest on Sunday morning.
