of course the E60 is the best of the bunch. One of my best mates has the E350 and the driver's and front passenger's compartment are so narrow as opposed to the E60. I also found the Audi A6 driver's compartment to be restrictive. I am a tall bloke with long legs and definetely feel that there is more room in the bimmer to spread out my legs.

Have nothing to do and found something in my photo archive. Might want to share with you guys..
still have a lot more but still need to resize the file

Maybe I just have not been around Microsoft area
Just visiting in Mukilteo for a few days and thought I might see a few member cars , but heck almost no current models all together.
BTW u will see in the gallery 2 of the 3 German models I have (A4 Cabrio and 6er). Starting to see some issues with the interior quality on the A4 at 20,000 miles. Leather bunching up on steering wheel and some plastic coming off buttons. Expected better of this "Quality" interior. Other than that though both cars have lived up to and in most cases exceeded expectations.

[/quote]Hi,
We do have a lot of BMW, Benz and Audi in King County area. Wander around downtown area on friday or saturday and I guarantee you will see a lot of our car. If you go around my apartment, you will see benz and audi park all around the street parking
they are my friend when we have gathering. by the way, the A4 on the picture has almost 40,000 miles and the interior still looks great, no chipping. Maybe there are few scratches on the radion button area, but I see that as normal wear and tear. Maybe climate can help chipping to happen. Try not to park your car outside all day with direct sunlight. ahh...did you driving around Seattle University yesterday if not 2 days ago?. I saw 6 series exactly the same color as yours driving pass going down the hill when I stopped for traffic light.
Do you live in washington? or you just visiting?
