Nice car. What % tint are your windows?
20%, meaning 20% visibility. I had 25% in my e90, and like the 20% better. You cannot see inside, but outside view is not bad at night.

...why not wait till the next model 
isnt 09 the last year for the e60... depreciation will hit hard when the next 1 drops... but either way looks very nice!

2. it drives incredibly well
3. it's very nice looking
4. it'll be 2012 or 2013 before the F10 has most of it's bugs worked out
5. buying the 09 e60 now means one can trade up to the F10 in 3 or 4 years, right when their e60 warranty expires
6. the economy warrants awesome deals now. In 2010 and after, there will be a pent up demand for new cars and if the economy is back on track, dealers will not be dealing.
7. Carpe Diem baby!
Beautiful ride. Congrats!

Here's why to buy an e60 now:
1. The 09 e60 has been refined and perfected every year since 2004
2. it drives incredibly well
3. it's very nice looking
4. it'll be 2012 or 2013 before the F10 has most of it's bugs worked out
