Agree with all the feedback above.  Lovely car and the rims are immense.

Three things just still niggle me about the E70 (of course, all IMHO):
- not entirely an aesthetically pleasing car in the same way as an RRS (remember, IMHO!)
- interiors starting to look staid, dull and dated before their time
- still no running boards on an M Sport?!?!
[I won't mention the misleading and disappointing fuel consumption figures and legendarily inadequate audio (which isnt just an E70 complaint, but applies to all BMW's)]

When paying ~£50K+, for me those niggles are too hard to ignore.  O:-)

Still a lovely machine though and beautiful under the skin! 

Fabulous 21" alloys, I really like those.  Very rare also. 

Yes, that is nice.

X5Sport - so .... that is the wheels and also the exhaust pipes. Busy winter ahead  >:D

The nearest I'm going to get to wheels like that will be on a BMW pushchair......and they don't make one....apart from a Z4 of course.

Same applies to any mods too......only to a pram/pushchair/carrycot.....or whatever the blasted things are called!  All I know is it costs more than the exhausts including fitting and painting!!.....

How on earth do people afford children?  Oh well, 50% my fault so I'll have to live with the consequences.

But then again, there's always Xmas, and the little un will be far too young to realise the exhaust ends aren't really for keeping choccies in........   ). That and 21" wheels are a teeny bit big for a Scalextric car..... :blink:

Little un being Bonnie?  )

I have tried explaining to my two that I could have had a new Porsche 911 Turbo each year if I did not have to pay for their school fees or Uni stuff now

Somehow they keep turning it on me that it was my own fault  ::)

Welcome to a world of pain....

There will always be good bits though and they seem to out-way the relentless freight-train.

Oh and get used to sacrifices  )
