Abbey Spectrum 540

Advantages: Central heating system - Phantom Tracker - Alko security locks - numerous added extras included in price.
Disadvantages: Alignment of wheels to get Alko wheel locks on together.

...After having Abbey Swift and Lunar, and nearly deciding to buy the Bailey Louisiana, I decided to go back to what I know is good quality an Abbey caravan. So I have bought the New Abbey Spectrum 535. What a superb decision, a lot better build that the Bailey and Lunar. Very well equipped, with excellent layout and added extras included. With the security of Phantom Tracker included in price, it gives peace of mind in this day and age of caravan theft. The Aldi central heating system with radiators is second to none, and superb. If I have to find fault, I did not like the way you have to align the wheels to fit the two wheel locks. Apart from this I give it a 5 star rating.... Read review

...We have recently bought a second-hand BMW 540i as an upgrade to a 325i convertible, and the difference is huge! The convertible was a fun, nippy, sporty car, while the 540 is a serious motor. It is an incredibly smooth drive, sleek and quiet, and although it is bigger than anything else I have driven, has a wider turning circle than other cars, and can be a tight squeeze in London traffic, it is an absolute joy to drive... especially on the motorway! With 8 airbags and 14 speakers, you feel comfortable and pampered both as a driver and a passenger, and there is loads of legroom. One of the best cars on the road today. It has a relatively high fuel consumption, but let's face it - you don't choose a car like this for reasons of economy!... Read review

...The 540i is probarbly the best car BMW make. Using their legendary V8, enlarged from 4 litres to 4.4 litres, this is the building block of a pure sports saloon car. Unfortionatly, the top speed has been limited to 155mph, but if the limiter is removed, this car can rocket up to around 170mph. 0-62 in 6.2 seconds, it has the potential to put a Ferrari into the shade. It has a full leather interior with nearly everything you could ever want available on the BMW Individual program. A wide range of exterior styling can also be added to further individulise your motor. The only fault is that with the V8, there is only room for a steering box, but the handeling is still wonderful.... Read review
