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:

i thought all 08's came with nav?
cause then the screen would be upgraded to the wider one

Very Nice!!!

Ah, it makes no difference - enjoy it all the same!

Cheers,
Keith

Don't worry about it.

All 08s come with the moonroof... nav is still a pay-for option (also in tech pkg).

wow i would of never though of Tobacco and Aluminum as a combo
now that i see it.........i love it!!!
a very unique contrast
congrats

Thank you all for your comments and advice!!!
I'm enjoying my ride a whole lot.

Hi Jgadea, can you post a picture of the car where we see the whole side. I am interested to see the look of your rims. I just ordered these for winter tyres...

Car looks gorgeous, congrats!

I promise will do over the weekend...
