no and yes
I got other e60 because it is a very good price and there is no car on the road roght now that can beat it in the same class
also I dont think I will get the F10 if it looks like the 5GT :thumbsdown:
like bill say it is much better than the VW CC
I was going to put the money down on the CC if bill did not say there were good offer on BMW
based on what bill said about the f10 time frame and milton said about his purchase, I bet the deal will get even better towards the end of the year.

btw, the sales told me they sold abuot 300 e60, that will bring them back up to the chart.

1 of the engine options for the f10 will be N55, it will have valvetronics

bhp wise, its actually not as good as the n54 but high torque at lower rpm

http://paultan.org/2009/05/27/new-bmw-n55-...etronic-engine/

this will be the engine for 5gt + a twin turbo v8 as bill mentioned.

wut u said is very true. I was planning to buy another car before I went bid for the car license number, they are either too expensive as a car plate holder (porsche, amg, etc.) or too cheap compared to e60.

should buy Bill a drink for telling you such a good offer man.

this is the main point that I did not lower my car but all your cars lower are 100 tome nicer
well since our car spent more time parked then being driven, look is very important to me. like it lowered.
