No, it's not Ashok's car
.
His car was a 2005 with the old key and black alcantara headliner, this car has comfort access and a caramel alcantara headliner which looks stunning IMHO.

Hele mooie combinatie die kleur blauw en dat caramel!
Is je idrive scherm ook aangesloten op de DVD speler ?
Ik heb op dit moment DVB-T op het Idrive scherm en zit ook te denken over schermpjes in de hoofdsteunen. Ik vindt de OEM oplossing helemaal nix.

I don't think you will drive your touring much, once you have this thing in your garage!
For a next Benelux meet, I'll prefer you taking the M5.

@midget;
Geen idee of het ook werkt op het Idrive scherm, als de DVB-T ontvangst voldoende is zou ik het overwegen om het alsnog aan te laten sluiten mocht het nog niet zo zijn.
RTLZ op de achtergrond in de auto vind ik wel handig maar om nu een hele DVD te gaan kijken tijdens het rijden....
@Doc Horror;
It's a bit sad indeed for the touring but the dealer told me that the car depreciated 50k Euros ($73k) in 2,5 years, I guess they aren't used to low mileage Diesels (27k KM).
So I decided to keep it, but after seeing the new X6 in person yesterday......
The one they had in the showroom was a Diesel with most of the important options and it was only(!) 117k euros ($170k), got to love the Dutch taxes.

Very nice... and thanks for buying an M5, we need more M5s on the road in the Netherlands! They are quite rare. It may have to do with the taxes you mention, making an M5 double the price of a US M5.
Shame about the depreciation of your E61. In case you're considering selling it: May I ask for the target price and the specs?
