E70's are nice. Makes the E53 feel ancient in most respects, but it also doesn't have that visceral driving feel. Been trouble free (mostly) up to this point. Eats highway miles and is an awesome daily. 22mpg city is nice for a big vehicle. As I said, wife adores it, and has been missing it greatly for the last month +. Though she has grown to really enjoy the wagon over that time as well. So, win for me too.
For the pre-LCI with regular bumpers they have an aero kit package. I'll be getting aftermarket versions of them. Looks like this:
I did add the flares and 20" wheels. Not many of the pre-LCI diesels came with those options (maybe any?). Here's a shot my cousin took when he went to check it out for us up in McKinney, TX. We bought it for $14000 OTD @ 132,000 miles because it had all the options we wanted and had it shipped down to San Antonio. Dealer was using it as a personal vehicle and let me call the shop that was doing the maintenance on it. Shop owner was upfront about it and gave it a clean bill of health so we went for it.
Here it is with the 20" X6 wheels ($500 on CL!!!) and flares (aftermarket). Now has 168,000 miles on it.
I'll post some pics after I get it all back together with the new headlights.
