Subject: Re: Rain sensing wipers in 9-5


Pete, The BMW 530d was on my shortlist but with much longer delivery times, not wanting to pose in a beamer, having to pay German VAT then reclaim it (somebody trying to hinder parallel imports methinks), etc. I ended up with the 9-5 Aero estate...and it's a great motor. It would have been difficult to wait until 4Q01 as I was switching from company to private car...but will pour over details of the 3 litre diesel with avid interest.
