omegaelite is on a distinguished road
Traded my e70 3.0d for an e53 4.8is - AND I PREFER IT!

Had a big spec 3.0d with 20" etc one of the first ni the UK....
Drove a mates E53 the other day and preffered it....didnt seem to crash so much over bumps

Picked up the 4.8is e53 today and its doing 22.5 mpg. The e70 was doing 24mpg and with petrol in the UK 115 and diesel 130, bizarly that now makes it cheaper to run a nearly 5 litre v8 than deisel!

The seats are comfier on the e53 and theres slightly more room in the back, although that may have been as I had the 7 seater.....

Took a big hit as well. 9 months old paud just over £50k and took £40k for it (was offered £36k by and independant!).....The dealers are awash with nearly new ones so there really taknig a pounding on the used car value front.........

Just my thoughts of the day....

Jess
