Yep this BMW dealer didn't get why I wanted a test drive, they was just asking what my monthly budget was and if I had a p/x that they would be interested, when I'm paying cash for a car I want emotion from and knowing I already have a car to sell that I can make a nice bit on privetely, it just didn't cut it for me.
I will push for a test drive of both BMW's and see what I can then do on a deal then.
I think you are right though seeing what we had a glimpse of on the German configurator and what the Irish brochure says as "Racing pack" for clubsport that the ED40 will just be some form of limited pack with wheels, seats, exhaust and stickers this time around, which will probably put it over the R list price which I can't justify anyway.
