Nice mod, well done, I may need you to do my next mod, I'm thinking of making the X6 look more like a 6 series GC.  ;)

Thanks all.

I didn't want to go all out M as the roads etc around here would crack the rims and loosen my fillings too quickly  :blink:.

I did take the indulgent plunge and get the 330d with Auto box, Pro Nav and iDrive.  Goes quite well too  ;).

6 GC is definitely in my future. Was going to buy one but wifey preferred the X6. Apart from 535's pathological hatred of them (;)) it's generated very positive comments and I love being in it. Still can't help pining a tiny bit when I see a GC though.
