[cruzin420]

About 7 months ago, my wife got into an accident with our original 2002 X5 4.4. Some idiot lady ran a red light and my wife ended up t-bone...ing the BROAD.... The insurance company totaled the car. So for about 6 months, my wife had been using my 03' 745i. Well, Ive got 22" wheels on that puppy so I really didnt want her driving around in my ride. We took a look at the 07 E70 X5 and all I could think was one thing...." Hated It"!!!!!! IMO, it looks like a bigger X3. Does have some pepper looks on the side, however, for the price with all the options I would want....I just had to pass! I'll start another thread about how much I dislike the E70.... Anyways, After looking at Porcshe, Range, even MBZ and Acura, I just had to go back to my boys at Century West BMW in North Hollywood. They found me a 2004 4.8is with 19000 miles, all the options you can dream of....I even had them throw in Running boards and extended maintenance for 2 additional years, all for FREE!!!!!Price??????? $51k... Now that was bang for my buck....I would have easliy paid $75k for an 07' with about half the options i would have wanted. Now, the 7 series can stay in the garage and relax, until daddy wants to take it out!!!! Enjoy the pictures.... It sure feels good to be back on this forum. I wont name names, but the 7 series forum I belong to kinda SUCKS! Oh well... Happy New Year Everyone.
