Swapped my 528i today with a friend and got her X3. The 5 Series is a ANIMAL compared to this X3. It just seemed so weird, having the big "old style" car key, and having to turn a switch to fire it up. This truck does ride like a BMW does, but you can definetly tell when there's a pothole or bump in the road. Check out the pics. Took a few quick shots today. Sorry for the black and white shot. Lol. Forgot my camera was on that mode. The truck is Titanium Silver / Black Leather. It was more cargo room than it looks from the outside.
The truck has the same wood trim as my 528. On the ride home, i was constantly reaching down into the "cupholder" thinking it was my IDrive knob. :-)
Old-style Climate Control
Big Wheels
Seats are sporty, but a little on the old side.

*Also, some of my associates are starting to get the new '09 5 series. I like the new idrive knob, but its almost pointless, since they didnt update the software.
*I will get another 5 (hopefully) early next week.
*The new F01 has arrived at the plant and its looks just like the pics! Verrrry Verrry Classy

Nice, take it you switched with your co-worker to up her miles 
Hopefully you get an '09 e60 for your next one. Post some pics of the '09 interior is you get the chance please...
Nice to hear the F10 is on the plant finally...any F01 7 series floating around also? or only in NJ?
F10 pics would be nice, I bet you'd have to be on some James Bond status to get them..
As always, thanx for sharing

Yea, she wanted some miles on her truck, cause she ready to get rid of it. She gave me a full tank of gas, so you know the miles will be racked up!
I really want a '09 E60, but with my luck, well you know

My fault man, i meant to say the F01 is at the plant, not the F10! The 7 that is at the plant has been seen on the highways and has no plates at all!! Its really nice though!

Let me know when, since it will be some time yet, I should be keeping my eyes open for the F10 in NJ. I saw the disguised X6 driving about a couple of times before release and was impressed.
