Bob Smith is the name of the BMW dealership

Thanks, I think the facelifted/"new" E70s no longer need the aero kit.

Thanks for all the nice posts! I am loving this diesel. To get to my house, it's a very steep hill. This 35d pulls itself up effortlessly like a Grumman bus, without downshifting! The torque is kind of awesome!!

very nice! I can not wait to get mine in 2 weeks at the PC. AW/black/loaded!!! The wait is killing me!

Nice car !! Like the configuration too, seems like a perfect match (interior to exterior). Did you sell the F01 ?

Thanks Hans. Yes, sold the F01! Great car, but I just started feeling too young to drive a big 7 Series, and wanted something a little more fun & youthful!

Congrats on the new ride.

How do you like the transition from the 4.8 to the diesel (aside from the gas mileage of course).

You could give us your thoughts on ride/handling, pros/cons and general differences between the F01 and the E70. I always wondered how the new 7 drove and rode whenever I saw them on the road. Would you say it's a step down or not really?
