I said the same about the lame spec on their wrongly-labelled demo too.

Hmm just updated the spec from the order form, might have gone a bit mad. Yeah I didn't like the spec but seeing as this is primarily the car for my wife I don't see the need for the X6 M50d especially as she hates mine because its too fast, I don't think she fully understands what your right foot is for lol.

I have got pics of my M5 but don't think these would go down to well on this forum :noexpression:

I'd love to see pics of your E39 as I love them. Still considering one at some point. Had an E60 M5 which was stunning.

I have these and to be honest for the money I just cant see the point. everyone who uses the car seems to shut the doors with enough force only to hear the doors checking themselves to see if they are indeed closed! the daughter is the only one to close the door lightly as she gets some amusment from watching the door pull its self in tight. ::)

Hi there - looks like a great car you've got coming there. In terms of the options, I would def go for the top view camera which will easily pay for itself through an avoided prang (it's a big car!). Adaptive headlights I would leave (got them but don't think the benefit is significant), ditto side view cameras. I wish I'd gone for the individual rather than professional hifi (good but not great plus individual speakers look more 'premium'). Adaptive cruise (brillant on motorway cruises) and sunroof are my other favourite options, and high beam assist works well and is pretty cheap as I recall.

I will post some pice of my E39 when I find out how, shouldn't be to difficult. Too late to hange anything on the X6 I ordered the car last week. But I just tried to re create the spec in the Q7 which we have at the moment. When and where is the meet in April?

RAF Cosford 27th April.

Great spec. I've got the 'Top Down' and side cameras? The latter are very handy pulling out of blind junctions/drives etc. my 'outlaws' live in rural Wales and the side cameras are very handy over there!

You'll always lose then until you get the proper toy of a not rattling engine....
