Actually there are 5, but since the cellcam pics are so lousy...

But OK, let's say 5 then and four of them can easliy be seen!
But not the turn signal lights on the headlights is not one of them.
The outside mirrors look different in the first photo...

ok... One set of headlights are Xenon with the active headlights, other one is standard. One has a different set of wheels to the other. One has the 2 large exhaust as seen on 545i, 550i, 540i? and 535d, other car has the 'standard exhaust'. One car has chrome grills whilst the other hasn't. one interior is grey whilst ones black???

You guys have seen very well the differences (which are visual in these pictures).

Hereby the jury (Ricracing and me) gives the right answer:

- wheels
- kidney grills
- exhaust pipes
- xenon lights
- pdc -system :this was almost impossible to see, FGN has that, OKI doesn't


I guess no perfect answer so the free world around trip remains for the next competition...

Thanks Hartsa for the correct 5!

Also thanks to all you guys that attendend our small quiz.

The pics prove also the prism factory; a pic taken with a slightly
differant angle makes the car look very differant.
This makes the E60 a "design ultimate"...


Welcome ssevon to to Forum! Very nice car


Maybe more cars take part in the next Finnish E60.net member meeting

Hey count me in, if I'm in! Going to Norway againg tomorrow. Today I spend time in biggest BMW party in Finland.

http://www.btcf.fi/index.php?page=bimmerparty

Had some quarter mile times on the landing strip, very dusty one.

Poor traction caused lot of wheel spin with first and second gear. Best times (ET15,071s) I got in the morning side of the day, but end speed stayed between 150,19 kph and 151,03 whole day (5 runs). How about that for regularity??

Skaffa


Not best place for race tract??

We had a E60 Forum member minimeet in Helsinki today
between Hartsa and me.

Maybe next time we get more Finnish E60 members gathered

The pics are taken with my cellcam, beacause Hartsa's "real" camera was
taken by his daughter to a horse summercamp...
A small competition:

Find three differances in the cars!

License plates do not count!
clean and nice...I love both of them

Jup, the 535d is certainly not bad (although not quite as hysterical as I had envisioned). I originally had my sights set on a 530xdA, but that did not work out. All-in-all, although not a fast car in winter-time, the 535d is a spectacular piece of auto.

My previous car was a Volvo XC90 - a very nice car, but this is A VEY NICE CAR. Quite frankly, although easy to like, the XC90 is hard to love. The 535d is not
