I have a RR and I wasn't aware of this stigma. I am, however, acutely aware of the social stigma that goes along with rocking a Magnum P.I.-like Moustache.

The one size fits all discription for e60 owners... How about pretentious, suit and tie wearing, expresso drinking, panini eating, F1 fanboys? Bwahahaha!!
HAHAHAHA! Sounds good to me! Should I be the model for the new clings?

Welcome to your new 5er!

Can we have a video of the night vision?
I'm pretty curious...
I'll make some photo's, once I pick-up the car. For now, it's just waiting for the leasing company giving the green light....

Of topic: e60 drivers definetely got a more positive stigma than SUV/Truck drivers, right? At least imo....
My brother just traded in his M-sport 530d for a X6 35d Sport, so I'm telling him this all the time

He has my sympathies. Is it a mental health issue? Or is his eyesight failing? They're the only two reasons I can think of for buying an X6

I've got the same spec seats but with seat heating also. They are exceptionally comfortable. Love that bit that moves forward electrically to extend the seat base length for better leg support. I can't wait for a warm day to make good use of the seat ventilation. Even though it's been cold since I got my car (in October) I've still had a go with the seat ventilation a couple of times just to try it out and I imagine it's going to be fantastic on a hot day. No more need for cold air blowing to the face, which I've always wanted on hot days.




He has my sympathies. Is it a mental health issue? Or is his eyesight failing? They're the only two reasons I can think of for buying an X6

It has also heated seats. I 'believe it isn't even possible to order the ventilation seats without heating?

Regarding the X6, he likes the looks. He always wanted an SUV-like car , but wanted something different. To be honest, I would prefer an X6 over an X5.

To it's defence, it's great to drive! It has the Dynamic Drive and AFS, together with some great options, as HUD, Comfort access, Logic 7 and Soft close.
Hey, i do have to get used to it, as the X6 is also the company car and we use it for all company drives.....
