Yeah, but those front grills will do it!

Thanks for all the info, everybody! This definitely cleared all of my confusion!

I think, if I do decide to go the SAV route when the decision time comes, it will be between the X5 35d and X6 i35. I've driven a few SUV's - Lexuses, ML's, Ranges - nothing compares to BMW handling. I kinda like the idea of the Touareg V10 diesel, but they are getting old, and new ones have a 3L diesel that is, no doubt, inferior to BMW. Maaaaaaybe the G Wagen, but it is a totally different category vehicle altogether, plus way too expensive for my wallet.

Richard, good to see you on here! You still have the E60?

LOL don't forget the exhaust tips - that means the car is FULLY tuned! Stage 5! hahaha

That said, better safe than sorry - I should try to remember to "dress republican" if I ever go to the stealership with any warranty claims

Nope, the lease ended last summer and I went for the X5 50i.
