Just giving you some sh!t.. you left yourself open and I couldn't resist. You have a fantastic car. I raced a colleague who has a 03 4.4, my car didn't start to pull away until about after 45 mph. The e53's got some kickass throttle response.

Although not a direct upgrade, I came from a 2001 4.4 E53 back around to an E70...(actually e53 to XC90 lease takeover from my wife, then to LR3 HSE -few stops in between). Happy to be home again!

i do see some spoiled b!tch driving around in a sport package blk 2009 4.8i (the rims are as black as the paint by now) i wanna yell at her everytime i see her

Nice to see a Cornellian out here. Wish I could afford one while studying out there

I will probably be as well but just waiting to see maybe if BMW changes the Sports pack back to include Adaptive Drive in the Spring when the facelift and TT come. I'm not really happy about that change and curious to see how they offer the 20" wheels, etc. I want the new iDrive but if it's that vs. not having the true handling of the Sports pack I might just stick to finding an '09 that is still on a lot somewhere with the options I want and get the 2.9% financing on '09s as they will offer that for a few months here.

So, when will the '10 Build Your Own be up on BMW's site ? Has to be any day now.

I wasn't ready to leap until the diesel came out. Now I really want it. But the E53 is paid for and having a car payment again - oy vey, not! With 50K on the clock there is lots more life left in my E53. If I could find a Platinum Bronze diesel...

Our next car is a diesel... maybe the second year of the tri-turbo if that comes to fruition.

I parked next to a ML350 and a RR HSE at the casino parking, all of our rides are black. but IMO the 70 blows the ML as far as looks, the RR looks nice, but i wonder what the owner said when he saw our rides next to each other.

They probably said - " I wish I had an X5 "

Aging E53, 4500 incentive and the 3 year lease started in 2006 coming due. There is flood of used E53 coming off leases in the market.
