I'm flying into Boston on 28 March and wondered if there were any accessories, etc I should look out for my E60 whilst I am in the States?

Anything you'd recommend? Any real killer deals to be had on gadgets? Obviously I can't bring back a new exhaust system or set of wheels but there must be something I "need"?

I live in the UK by the way and the $-? rate is good too. I bought $1.863 for every ? i exchanged.

I hope so. We're in MA for 4 days, then driving into Vermont (Stowe) for 4 and then back down to Concord MA for 4. Plan on doing some serious retail therapy!

So True! Infact I make it a point to check out the electronic stores when in U.K. Wish I could get them in 110V. . Heck I will even take stuff Argos has for sale.

Lucky you, Mart.

Was in Boston in October when the Sox won! Bloody amazing sight and sound!

If you like steaks etc. you gotta go to Smith and Wollensky on Arlington Street 101, just off Columbus Ave, near Boston Common. Tel no. is (617) 423 1112. Got to reserve a table there! It's FAB and in a terrific old building from the 19th century.

Also, you should do the Duck Tour - really fun!

All the Best

The best bargain would be another 530 for about ?24,000!
