One man's opinion: I'm outta here.

[vroom9]

Dear X5worlders,

I've been a part of this forum for months now awaiting the arrival of the E70. Not only was I considering an '07 X5, I purchased one and it's currently on it's way from Spartanburg.

I've been checking this site daily and really enjoyed it, in fact you helped me to decide to make the buy. But I've got to tell you, since the new X5 arrived on the scene in photos, and since it hit the dealerships, and especially since people have started buying them, most of the posts here are nitpicking in the negative, most feverishly so from people who have little or no extended first-person experience with one, i.e. people who haven't bought one. "SO disappointed in the red blinkers..." -- are you kidding me?!

In this one man's opinion, that post was the last straw. As much as I appreciate the great pre-release photos and magazine reviews and articles and insider info posted here in the months before the E70's premiere, I've really grown tired of being bummed out most of the time when I check in daily to read the latest posts. I really wanted to stay with you guys here as the X5 I've purchased will be my first, but the mudslinging and criticisms for every nano-bit of detail that just so happens to pucker the anal-ists has burned me out. I am thrilled with the new X5, excited to be an owner, and no longer want to have my parade rained upon.

My sincere thanks to all those X5worlders who look at the bright side; I'm with ya there. But I can no longer be with ya here. In other words, I'm outta here. Adios, and I'll see ya on the freeway........
