Rear End Bothering Me...

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....

I gotta tell ya. That title is a bit misleading.

I was wondering who's fanny was bothering you?!

I saw one go by me on I-75 yesterday, hauling azz,
and as I struggled to catch it in daFridge, it looks
a lot bigger than the 7" they talk about.

It's out of my budget at this time and really don't need
to toss our poifectly fine '01, just to "get one"...
and the E53 is a remarkable design, imo.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Cars are like humans some have a nice fanny others a nice chest.

I guess the interior is what matters most.
