    DRIVING:

    My charted accountant told me that, central government has extended the date of 50% depreciation on cars till Sept' 09 end.

    As I own Merc, Audi etc., I thought to buy 5 series BMW to take the advantage of depreciation. I requested for a demo car.

    The car features, comfort, safety etc. are same like Merc & Audi except flat tyre technology.

    The vehicle ofcourse a wonderful metal piece.

    But to my surprised the vehicle noise was high & there were minor vibration to body, but steering wheel was vibrating like typical heavy duty diesel vehicle (The said vibrations are totally absent in 7 series). I discussed the matter with vehicle representative; he told me it’s normal.

    I don't know the vibrations were due a used demo vehicle or inherent.

    It was shocking experience from 5 series BMW 2009 model.

    .... Finally, I did not buy the vehicle.

     

    Elegant, ComfortableVibrations to steering wheel ....
