Default Stopped driving long enough to finally post some pics of my new car!!

A little over a month old and already over 3,000 miles!! Having a blast and already wondering about TT! I do miss my E55 and it's insane HP and torque, but I'm really enjoying this car. I'll re-evaluate in 2 years or so and I see one of two things happening. One, keep this and get an E63 or trade this in for a TT. I'm done telling myself "I'm keeping this one for a LONG time". I know it won't happen.

I wish those wheels had been offered in model year 2005. The car looks fantastic.

Nice pics! How was your E55 for reliability?

Despite being a six time BMW owner, the E63 does nothing for me. If only they had kept the waterfall hood treatment, instead of having the ugly seam across the top of the grill. Looks kind of cheap, in my opinion.

Did you know that a 6 cab weighs 100 lbs. more than a luxo-barge Cadillac DTS 5 seater? That's one heavy 2 + 2. The weight is well disguised when driving at 6/10, but if you push the thing a little bit, the weight makes the car feel clumsy. The coupes are only a little better on weight; the M6 with its carbon fiber roof makes it down to a svelte (ahem) 3900 lbs.
