I was driving home last night, saw an e60 and 2006 A6 driving together. After passing them (confidently b/c of my Valentine One ), I looked in my rearview mirror. The e60 just looked so amazing, with the zenon headlights, angel eyes, and amber eyebrow. It is unmistakably BMW. The A6, on the other hand, looked quite ordinary.

Can't wait to get my e60!! It's currently awaiting transport--I figure it will board the "Jingu Maru" on Oct. 11 and arrive in Charleston, SC on Oct. 26.

The wait is killing me....

Sweet!

I agree that BMWs always manage to look distinctive, even at night.

How are you figuring which ship your car will board? My car is "being transported to the port of exit", but have no idea when it will get cleared and get on a boat...

Is your car already at the port of exit? What was its production week?

Many cars look much better at night, especially the ones with HIDs.

Just found this site:

http://www.port-of-charleston.com/vessel_schedule.asp

If Wallenius Wilhemsen makes a weekly trip with vehicles (which is does according to this map), why isn't it listed under vessels arriving in the next 30 days?

In fact, if my car is supposed to be at the dealer in Wisconsin the first or second week of November, why aren't there any W&W vessels listed as coming in late October?

E60 lights are like no other, especially the bi-xenon lights.

It's a day time shot, but since you are getting a Silver Gray too (here's my 2006 BMW 530xi frontal shot - 2 weeks old already - September build).
