E70 noob in Reading

Post by goose » Tue Feb 04, 2014 4:19 pm

Hi all - long time lurker, first time blah blah blah..

Picked up a 3.0sd last weekend and have to say am liking the refined drive & grunt, as well as the space for our ever-growing 4 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback!

Looking forward to some knowledge, and friendly banter  :beer2:

I'm afraid so.. she was starting to chew the Recaros in my old Audi S4, so it was time to relgate her to 3rd class, in the boot, behind a big metal guard! Altho I have bought a taylored boot liner from here:-

And I must say, it's excellent..  but it doesn't stop wet nose prints on the glass lol
