I know,lol. I very nearly bought that Saffie that Daves just sold as I messaged them both at the same time, this guy answered first. I'd love to keep both but I just cant afford to, and I think they're both too good to break.
On another topic, was it someone on here who was pointing out to me how to spot a 5 speed auto box on one of these?... this has just got the one big W button on it as apposed to the three for Sports, Winter, Economy etc.

I'm not really a fan of it tbh but it's a hell of a lot to try and replace.

So would I be right in thinking M4.4s have 3 buttons, and ME7s only have 1.

I prefer switchable autos, the so called "adaptive" boxes don't react quick enough when you need it.

One of them needs to go, I'll decide in the morning. As much as I know if be giving up loads if I sold the manual I think I just need a good reliable car for the next year while I finish my degree and find a job.
