Hi Brooksy, welcome to the club/forum.
.
I'm honestly surprised that you find the Pro soo much better than the BMW, although i think most of us have come from so-called prestige model cars. My previous motor was a focus ST225, but like you it was getting silly expensive to keep. I am very happy with my Pro, and to be honest dont really miss the focus, even the performance of the 2.0 CRDi is enough to keep me happy.
The wife, a friend, and i are driving down to southern Spain this weekend to visit my parents and i'm actually looking forward to the drive!!
All the best.............jamie.
