That's true, and the aluminium trim and the 135 Rims fit the car perfect ;-)

They have changed the trim, it used to be 'Brushed Aluminium' now its 'Aluminium Pentan'. It has a small diamond weave through it, looks good and you cannot see fingerprints.

Oh, you can't really tell from the picture.....Wanted to ask you if you want to sell the brushed aluminium trim, but I noticed that our cars are 5 years apart (there was no LCI in 9/2003 )

Even Top-Gear found a Red E60 for the test track. The first ever Diesel on Top Gear, as fast as a Nissan 350z around the track. Only slightly slower than the v8 petrol E60.

It was filmed in late 2004, maybe they saved the money for the tank of fuel. 18mile to the gallon on the track.

"It didn't look that sporty......probably being very ECONOMICAL"
I wonder what the word economical may mean ? In Top Gear Terms
