FWIW: Saw a Sterling? Silver E70 at the dealer this evening. 3.0i. The rear end is definitely heavier in a sort of Pontiac Aztec way...and we don't like the front lights...the inboard light on the E53 is beefier and the outboard lights are scaled to balance...the E70 has this weenie inboard light and this dialated pupil-like outboard light...needs to really grow on me. I am hoping the 4.8 will blow me away...IMO, all E70s will need aluminum running boards.

Still liking my E53 an awful lot....
