Anyway ... I know people who buy cars based on features and they
don't test drive them first (new cars anyway, you might be able to
do a test drive on a 2nd hand model). If you are buying an ex-govt
or fleet car at an auction, I doubt you would be able to do a test
drive as well.

In excess of 70% of BMW 7-series buyers don't test drive a car before
placing an order

(48% of all statistics are made up on the spot.......!!!)

:-) The 70% figure comes from BMW's own research
