Investor is on a distinguished road
I drove a 3.0 E70 yesterday and was not overwhelmed. I have never owned an E53 so I can't do the comparison, but do currently own three BMW's. The car felt, looked and drove very much the way you would expect a BMW to be. The six was adequate and smooth but I personally would want the eight. I was handed the keys with no instructions and just drove away. No problems using any of the controls if you are used to driving BMW's. The third seat was definetly for children, the seat is very low to the floor( I guess for safety reasons keeping the heads lower in the rear). The storage didn't seem as large as I was expecting. I would like to hear from current owners for the storage comparison. Overall a very nice competent vehicle but no "wow" factor. Having said all that I will probably order one after I drive a 4.8.
