My dealer says they wont get their demo until Feb which by that time mine should be on a ship coming here.

It sounds like the SD is worth it especially is there is no lag on takeoff and its even more punchy in gear.

i throw my current 3.0d around and that has the lowered Eibach springs which make handling heaps better then when I first took delivery.

I will be looking to do the same with the E70 when performance springs are available at the dealership.
