... it looks so nice without the rails Regrettably I have decided not to pay 500 euros to get my rails removed when delivered, including paint costs, so I cannot join the exlusive E61 No Rails Club.

But honestly, I'm more impressed of the house!

Nice! What interior do you have? I'll get my new LCI E61 touring Monday. MSport - TiSilver/Black. Coming from a black E61 I love how crisp the TiSilver looks. I'll also have the panoroof, but with rails since I'll use them alot.

Congrats on yours! I think I'll snap some pre-delivery shots at the dealer tomorrow..
Thanks ipp.
Black Dakota Leather with Brushed Aluminium trim - comfort seats (well worth it) and M-Tech extras which include the anthracite headliner to complete the sports cockpit feel.

Yes the car really does look sleeker without the rails! That is what is making this indecision! I have all the hardware waiting on my local BMW dealer...
...and i?m going there for an oil change this friday...let?s wait and see!
About the wine collection...living in Portugal is everything to do with that!

Good wine, good cheese, good food!

And of course...lots of taxes and bad roads!! LOL
That's why I never went back to the UK hellraiser - I've been here for 22 years - and I'm lovin' it - especially the wine, the cheese, the taxes, the roads
Mentioning wines, it's just as well I opted for the easy pack version on the E61 - see how useful it can be.........

22 years in Portugal!

I?ve been living here for 25 years, wich is my age!

My E61 has that easy pack thing too!

And it is good to carry those kind of things!

Are those bottles to offer me?
