BMW sent out an email blurb tonight about things happening in the company. Among the items was a very brief interview with Jonathan Spira who said he's about the become an E60 owner: "It never gets old," says Spira, referring to picking up a new BMW in Munich. "Of course, my next car, a 550i, will be picked up at BMW Welt later this year, so that will make a great experience even better."

No need to link away from E60.net for this information...

(They don't call this place the "E60 information network" for nothing, you know! )

Oh, and to everyone [exGman, Jay, Rudy) thanks for noticing this.

BMW had to do a bit of convincing to get me to agree to the interview but what the heck. They also ran a nice photo of my car in the newsletter. Can anyone guess where the photo was taken? (Only hint is that I took it)

On my screen, the photo is only about 1"X2." I can see a nice car with mountains in the background, but that's about it.

Nice article -- thanks for posting the link and good luck on your ED (that is, if you can keep from going crazy while you wait until the October delivery date!)
