Hi all,
friend of mine put me onto this forum after telling him i will be picking up my new E70 the middle of next month (long wait i know)
Previous BMW's are E46 330 coupe, E90 330i, E60 520i and currently own E60 525D and a E92 320i
My wife and i have decided to hand back the 2 current cars and get an X5 as it's better for the family (2 kids and a mad boxer dog)
Really looking forward to picking it up.
Spec: E70 3.0D MSport
19" 223 alloys, Alpine white, Media package, Black leather, Heated seats, Reverse camera, folding mirrors and i'm taking the dvd players out the back of my E60 for the kids.

I'm a photographer so you can be sure there will be pics on delivery.

Look forward to getting to know everyone.

Very warm welcome to the forum!

Get some more up of this one then.

So who gets to walk then if 2 cars become 1?

My wife and I also went to 1 car when we started working together.
Firstly an e91 touring, now the x5.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we are ours.

Welcome aboard. I like E60's a lot and do miss the previous 2 I've owned.

oops my bad, you know what i mean tho.

Fit like Steve, thanks for pointing me here. Time to hide the credit cards.

I hope we manage with just the 1 car, i'm sure we will. If not then i'll just buy the M5 i've always wanted  ;)
The silver E60 was written off, kind of glad as i didn't like the 2.0 engine in it that was more for the wife. Went for the 525d for myself after that and bought her the 320i. Love the looks of her E92 but needs a better engine to keep me happy.

Looking forward to the middle of March, will give it a good detail before taking her out for a photoshoot.

Welcome to the madhouse...... :)

That car's a bit of a mess innit!  Hope no one in your car was hurt......no sympathy for the drug driver though.

You're not a Ham perchance?  Just asking ref your nom de guerre on here..
