blue dragon will become famous soon enough
Sounds like its going to be worth the wait. Are you concerned about the body style change coming for MY14?

not remotely, the "spy shots" I have seen of the next model looks like its the love child of a Toureg/Cayenne/Q7 ... not loving it so I will be "happy" with the E70...

honestly, the E70 is a compromise, the car I really wanted was an F11 550i M-Sport Touring, but BMW NA in their (lack of) infinite wisdom decided that we are not worthy...

my 2nd choice was an X5M, but I could not justify the extra $14k over this spec, for my DD and 4x dog transporter!



p.s
love the aerokit on your car ... much sexier than the ZMP aero IMHO

Congrats. You'll love it. I actually prefer the way the 50i M Sport drives over the X5M. Much smoother. Plus the performance and handling are more than enough for most folks.

I'm actually hoping that the adaptive drive might make the ride a little closer to that of the X5M ... the "sports activity" model I tested I found a little "floaty" esp at freeway speeds... I suppose the H&R lowering kit will "solve" that anyway!
