I've recently been on a Golfing Holiday in North Wales (there were 6 of us on the trip); for golfers here's where I played:
Dolgellau -- Short ( hole course, good views, no yardages, I won't be revisiting
Aberdovey --> great links golf
Royal St David's (Harlech) --> Once again great links golf
Borth --> Windy ++, not as good as former but worth a visit

Anyway, I was carrying 4 sets of golf clubs, 3 trolleys, and some other golfing stuff in the back of my e61. Myself & three passengers of course. It was the chance I'd been waiting for to test the car on anything other than main roads, and for a few days too, not just an afternoon.

The car took the winding roads of North Wales fully loaded without any trouble at all, it handled like a much smaller car -- I'm impressed! Acceleration, road holding, cornering - boy this car rocks!

Here's some quotes from my friends during the week:

"Great Car"
"This is a Diesel..!?"
"Great acceleration"
"I want one of these"
"This is my next car"....x2-3 at least

I wonder I I can claim commision

Hey, you drove what else they going to say .

No, really, it's nice to get confirmation that u are one smart person for making the right choice. I know it gives a sense of pride when others speak well of the choices one makes

I had a loaner x3 while my 6er was in for software upgrade. Had a chance to haul 3 others on a little 4 hour tour. That vehicle drew rave reviews as well. Personally it's (x3) not my style but I got several people thinking BMW where they were not before
