Got it... at last!
 

I finally have it in my posession, 3.0d 2008 e70.
Tobacco on Alpine white...

very, very nice!!! congratulations to you!!

this is the turbo diesel right?? any pics of the engine?? how does it ride??

i know you're having fun!!;)

No Auto Hold ?

I'm sorry... what is auto-hold???

Love your interior, Tobacco was my second choice option after Saddle brown.

Seems like you have an 07 year model. All 2008 models should have A-Hold fuction which allows you let go of the brake once you stopped at the light when the function is activated.
the only thing I see possible is that only US models have Auto Hold although dont see a reason for them not to include it.

FYI Auto Hold button is right behind parking brake button.

Is there a way to check the model year # by say, the VIN # on the vehicle?

Here is a pic of the button on mine
 

What does your window sticker say regarding the year?

There are no "window stickers" here...

:banghead: :banghead: My guess is that my car is probably one of those "on paper" 2008's; but it's really 07 specs.....

Very nice. Enjoy :thumbup:
