He won't come.  My last post said his ego was bigger than the new x7

He's either sulking or playing with his stable of expensive cars

Almost right.
You meant to say his choice of cars was a bit pony

Nice toy you've got and definitely a change from the X5.

From the photos I can tell it's got the sat nav, but not sure if the seats are heated as I think they moved the switches to between the stereo controls from the lower switch panel on earlier 2008 models. I know a bit sad but I did think about getting the 330d but funds would allow me to have that and an X5.

How are you finding the run flats with the 19's? As I know from comments on here that where the X5 has runflats It seems the ride is a bit harsh.

Keep up, she says it has pro nav !

[ITBarbie]

Yep it has pro NAV and it appears to be very good I also like the Bluetooth audio streaming from the iphone

Yes you do feel bumps on the road on the RF's but I expected that after reading comments.  Mind you on those 19's it makes the tyres look like rubber bands. Don't worry I'll be crying when I kerb a whelk or loose a tyre! Lol

[X5Sport]

Even the old E46 vert with non-RFTs is a hard ride as the tyres are very low profile so there's nothing in the sidewall to 'smooth' the bumps.  Ours being an M Sport just has no give at all, but that being said it handles beautifully.

Shame it has a habit if breaking rear springs though.....something BMW put down to using recycled steel!  Er right >:(

The answer for that is to park 6 inches from the kerb and get a taxi, like I do with the X5  )

[ITBarbie]

Don't think ill have much choice.  Trust me I can park with in the width of a Rizla  but it's the men who look at you as if to say "she can't park that" that puts you off.  A policeman waited for me to park the X5 the other day and then had the audacity to tell me that he was impressed with my parking. I was less impressed that he had nothing better to watch! Lol.

bet he was looking at you not the car, wheres the topless pic?
