Just arrived in Switzerland ! My new E70 !

What a Easter-Gift ! My new E70, direct imported from Spartanburg... What can i say ? First of all, i'm breathless about everything, i'm really happy and can just gratulate all the new x5 drivers too... Here some pictures. Note: It look's like a 4.8, but it is a 3.0 Diesel Engine. I changed the Look in the front and also the "crome-pipes" in the rear (Psst: Don't say it too loud, there are from a Mercedes R-Class)... Greetings from Switzerland...

how come your tailpipes look different than the other ones....they look more oval (because it's a 3.0sd?)

Nice, this is the 1st pics of a delivered European car I believe. How much did it cost you to swap the front kidneys of the 4.8? Also neat trick the R class exhaust tips. I thougth they were soldered, did they have to cut them to fit or is it a straight fit over the standard which is inside the oval?
Thanks for the pcis

Very nice. The tailpipes look better than the 4.8 - they appear to be cast as opposed to the rolled steel ones on the 4.8. The saddle interior is great. You might want to photoshop out our license plate, just incase some less than honourable people are hunting for a car to "liberate". There can't be that many E70's in your canton.
