Nice car!!

Just out of curiosity, why are many UK E60s missing advanced air-con and xenons?
[snapback]123880[/snapback]
Advanced aircon and Xenons are both options. Adv. A/c is only std on 535d and 545i. Xenons are an option on all E60's

Adv a/c - ?605 ($1,150)
Xenons - ?685 ($1,300)

[snapback]123931[/snapback]
Thanks Merv. I'm not usually a fan of black leather....I'd have preferred Auburn. However, the Alu cube interior really helps to add a bit of lightness to the interior. And I'm sure it would have looked ugly if paired with Auburn.
Also with two little mites, I'm hoping the black carpets/anthracite headlining and black leather will be a little easier to maintain............"now where did I put that leather cleaner!"

Do you put all 3 in the back ? How do you get on. It's a real pain that BMW do not allow a manual airbag pass...........one of the things I miss about my V6 Alfa......and the engine sound........and the stick shift......BUT NOT THE Depreciation or the crap fuel economy!!!

Yes I have put them all in the back but what a pain in the ass it is with 3 x booster seats. The seat belt points are sited for 2 x fat people. If you opt for the folding seats they're more evenly spaced. Fortunatley one of my older boys can sit in the middle without a booster seat which makes it easier.

A friend of mine also had the lift like depreciation with his Alfa.

I know theres nothing like the sound of 6 cyl petrol but the straight 6 diesel still sounds great at speed.
