New Member, E70 Ordered

[trashy30d]

Hi

Just a quickie to introduce myself.

Found this forum, it seems about the most active E70 forum.

Have ordered an new E70, its due in 10 days - that'll be 10 very long days!

Spec:
3.0d SE, Sapphire Black + Beige Leather
Dynamic Pack
Media Pack
20" wheels
Privacy Glass
Alu Running Boards
Heated Seats
+ a few others extra's

I'll post a few pics when I get it, can't wait.

Cost = a s**t load, by my calculation the equivalent of US$89,000. Oh how I love UK car prices. How much would that vehicle be in the US?

We got our UK 3.0d SE a couple of weeks ago, you'll love it. And yeah, UK prices suck, ours was £53k ($106,000)

Some pictures of ours can be seen here; http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e70-forum/...uk-photos.html

Let us know when it arrives!

Yes, seen those already - looks excellent. Impressed at your DVD install.

Is that sapphire black, hows the paint finish - i.e orange peel effect?

£53k JEEZ! How did you manage that, adaptive drive / active steering maybe??

Welcome and Contratulations on your new ride!
US Price for a 3.0 petrol with sport pack would be approx. $54,000.

Thanks

Black - looks very nice. We used to have a non-metallic black E60 5 series, the sapphire black is a much better finish.

Options we went for are;
Dyamic Pack
Media pack
Xenons
Comfort seats
3rd Row seating
Front seat heating
Steering wheel heating
Running boards
Floor mats
Graduated tinted windscreen
Dimming/folding electric mirrors
Sun protection glazing
DAB tuner
USB Audio Interface
Logic7 Sound system
GPS Tracker
...and that stuff they put on the leather and paint to help protect it, whatever it's called!

Nice spec, you like your ICE. Would have liked xenons myself but I didn't choose my spec - it was a cancelled order i picked up.

I would say that it is really rather easy to get to £53k - A fully specified (every option) 3.0d is £61k list.

Here it is, sorry about the crappy photo's I was in a confined space.

Nice pics. The Dynamic pack is nice with the sport seats. I built my X5 3.0d to be £46k and the Dynamic package has nice stuff, but I personally didnt see the need for the Media package.

Wow, while I was on the site, I built a 4.8 M sport and that rang up to be £57k!
