More E70 Pictures + Comments

As promised, here are some better pics in betting lighting. (As you can tell, I went low tech with the paper license plate cover! )
x-Drive and Stability Control/DTC will be tested in tonight's snow/ice storm.




























I'm very happy, overall.

Some things that are good:
A real trunk, with a non-fussy cover! Yay!
Amazing lighting system. (bi-xenons, LED Tails, cornering lights)
Good standard audio system
wonderful driving experience
quieter and more refined
cool glovebox
nice pano roof
rear and front parking sensors
IDrive is good on Bluetooth and Radio.
Oh, and TiAg looks stunning! IMO

Things that I'm not crazy over:
Electronic Parking Brake is annoying. I like the reassurance of a manual lever.
Push Button Start take a few steps. I know there is Comfort access, but for 1k, no thanks.
IDrive for Climate and Nav takes getting used to.
Voice Control can recognize numbers, but not address book entries.
Back Up Camera displays colors completly wrong.
I wish there was a slot for the iPod Cable from the center console.
No sunglasses holder

Everything else is great!

New EPA is 15/21, and I'm still breaking the engine in, so I am expecting better mileage soon.
Pics are loaded on to my xpage. I also took pics of my other car which I will put on soon.
I'm not planning any mods.
I bought today a iPod cable for the AUX jack.
