WAY TO GO Vince :thumb: Let's show BMW some love...

Yeah!!! :thumb:

 

[Mr Paddle.Shift]

Woohoo! :thumb:

Btw, forgot to post about this. Went out dinner just now and within 10mins of driving, I saw 2 E65s, one black and the other dark blue. This totals up to 8 E65s I have seen so far for the last 3 weeks. Ok, maybe some of them are the same E65s driving around...oh well.:tsk: The black E65 was approaching behind me. I could recognize the xenon headlights and angel eyes even before it pulled up beside me. The other was parked.

I still haven't seen an E65 in person yet... I have actually (within the last month) just seen my first two '02 3er sedans.. I gotta say, I love the new front face..

I'm waiting for the E65 though, I need to see it, I like the pictures of it so far..

"Advocate of the E65"..... It's a sad state of affairs we are in....

So, Vince, I bet you have 1:18 of the E65 too, right? Pictures?

 

[Mr Paddle.Shift]

The 1:18 E65s were released two months ago but I have yet to acquire them. I do have a 1/43 version of E65 Frankfurt IAA 2001 version.

Have a couple of new models arriving soon from UK:

James Bond 007 E38 750iL

E39 M5 Xmas special. Yep, Santa drives the red M5.

So, Vince, I bet you have 1:18 of the E65 too, right? Pictures?

Count me in :thumb:

It's not that I'm just following the crowd. I didn't like it at first, but my pov has changed

 

[Mystikal]

I'm feeling the new defenders of the E65, but I'm extending my scope to the Z4, new 5, 1-series, et al. :thumb:

And the E46 :thumb:

 

[rost12]

Yeah, that was short-sighted of me...
I'll change my sig to "Even in perfect families there's a pervert. In BMW's, that's X5" :thumb:. Meaning: "everything else rocks!"

 

[Guest]

Yeah!!! :thumb:

At least use the pic of what *could* have been. And,IMO, THIS one isn't THAT bad...

Sorry TD, it's still bad. :thumbdwn:

 

[Guest]

Sorry TD, it's still bad. :thumbdwn:

It still looks too.... big(?). I'm not sure what it looks "too".

But removing the eyebrows and replacing the squinty fogs with larger ones helps the overall look A LOT.

Maybe they can revert to this design in a few years to salvage their R&D costs on the paltform after the current design tanks sales-wise. (I know, I know... The cheerleaders are going to tout it's first month sales figures. That's all well and good, but let's all wait and see. I still say sales WILL tank.)

What do you mean by that Al:dunno: It's blue and has a roundel so I thought you'd like it.

 

[alee]

It still looks too.... big(?). I'm not sure what it looks "too".

It still has the big fat bloat about it, and that weird I've melted and I can't get up kind of wackiness.

 

[alee]

What do you mean by that Al:dunno: It's blue and has a roundel so I thought you'd like it.

If that were true, I'd be driving a blue E36 M3.

 

[Guest]

If that were true, I'd be driving a blue E36 M3.

Obviously I've missed something, Al. Explain this one.

 

[alee]

Just messin' with you.

I almost bought an E36 M3 once upon a time. Certainly a lot to like about it, but not the car for me.
