   Fingerman,
 I have the same car, I didn't like the colour when I picked it up from Glasgow but, it was dirty, Washed & polished when I got it back to Kent.
What a difference..
you will love the grunt of the V8 too.
it's such a refined car you don't realise how fast it is until you see cars behind disappearing in your mirrors 
In sports mode, it will rev above and beyond the redline (which is at 6250 RPM) with ease. 
I had a little hesitation at high revs a few weeks ago, I have dosed the petrol up with redex type stuff and all is fine now .
I'm in to over 18,000 miles in 11 months with this car and  touch wood ,all it has cost me is oil & tyres 

Enjoy

	Glasgow to Kent - Jesus that's a bit of a trek! Picking her up on friday and looking forward to the V8 again - the low rumble is sweet, I think it's the same engine as my 730 was - haven't had chance to check yet And hopefully shouldn't have too many issues, but for that price I'm happy - I'll be keeping the 520 for a bit until the 530 is in tip top shape
