Guest Andrew Report post Posted May 25, 2005 Was cranking along the motorway - and see this AWESOME looking E60.. It pulls along side and sure enough - a little ///M5 grill. Quad exhaust , badass kit. Was totally hot - would change nothing on that car. Sounded great also. Driver looked to be Jerry Clayton himself. Was taking it very easy. Made me feel inadequate in the e36 318 hah. hot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

my_e36 43 Report post Posted May 26, 2005 cept thats the E60 - yeah E90 launch is tonight. oops.... hahaha~~anyway, just been there and the speeches are boring, no car show chicks. First Impression... The car, well, it look bigger but inside feel smaller. Feel more sporty defintely because even the rear seats are sort of more "buckety". Rear headroom about the same as my e36 Coupe despite being a 4 door. All the cars on show (4 total, 320i, 330i and the 2 diesel) have electric seats. Quite comfie but the interior design will take a bit getting used to. Knobs in a few places and there's now 3 stokes on the steering column. (signal, wipers and cruise control) Can't imagine when they add SatNav control and SMG onto the steering column. The boot tray that goes to the roof of the boot, well, that's a good design (at least the boot door won't chop off the tray when closing the boot) but it blocked the boot lighting from illuminating the back of the boot, which is where you need lights esp at night. (Smart and Stupid in 1 place.) Overall, I like the look of it, esp the front. Interior, I'd say it will grow on me if I get to have 1. That said, if I have money, I wouldn't buy 1 yet. I'll wait for the Coupe coming in late next year. (or bag a bargain e46 330ci for being end of production) (I am comparing to e36 because that's what I got) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowninja 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 I went to the Wellington launch last night, the place was packed with only 2 cars- 330i & 320d. It looked better in the flesh than in pictures, and looks more aggressive than the E46 (without the Motorsport kit anyway). The seats are very similar to my E46, though my seats are manual. Will suspend FINAL judgement until after my test drive! Oh and there was good grog, they were serving Veuve Cliquot (genuine french champagne, my personal favourite). :thumb: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliluya 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 I went the launch yesterday too, i think the car is MUCH better in person than it is in the pictures, the seats are mighty comfortable, and much roomier than the predecesors. It had lovely food ... mmm ... i ate lots haha ... ! We had 3 cars down here, didn't check to see what 3 they were tho. I think the test drive should be pretty damn good.

Hartage 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 I also went to the Wellington launch. The wine was FINE! The jury is still out on the car. I have a drive booked for about 2 weeks time, am away a bit till then. The car looked better and bigger than the pictures. But i thought that it was smaller than my e46 in the rear seat area. The front as the standard kit is way better than the e46, and its going to look better than that when the M tec bits are avaliable. Overall, COOL CAR! :mosh: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
