Glad you had a good time!! London is a terrific city and everyone should try to get here at least once in their life. Glad to hear you had a positive experience with us Brits too!

On to Paris tomorrow. I hope I can say as positive things about the French after a few days there! :thumbup:

Mmmm.....good luck!!

Whatever you do, do NOT attempt to speak French to them. No matter what people say to you about "trying to speak the local language", the Parisians will HATE you for it if your French is crap.

Go to the Louvre (if you can get in what with the Da Vinci Code etc), Eiffel Tower, Pompidou centre and whatever else you can cram in.

Watch out on the Metro for pick pockets!

HAHAHA!! :rofl: I forgot about that..You win. However, I claim ignorance when it comes to the socks and shorts thing...I've NEVER done that..ahem..ahem... :nervous:

don't forget the white trainers or is it sneakers to you guys.;) :rofl:

Brit 5's
 

London does have a high proportion of petrol engined 5's, most other areas of the UK have a higher proprtion of diesels. BMW sell 75% diesel in the UK (X5's). With the price of fuel the extra consumption above the petrol engine, it is significant. As well as that it has more torque than the V8. Last week on a 2000 mile round trip to Lake Garda in Italy, I managed 32 mpg, not bad for 2 tonnes at euro 130 kph speeds and up over the alps. I'm impressed anyway.

rain has gone off, but due again tomorrow.

Sorry but I prefer Paris to London. More exciting to drive in as well.

You should have given us more notice that you was in London maybe a few our X5 World members in the UK could have met up for a beer.
