        dynamic drive is fun to drive, but a $1500 sway bar is not fun. I always feel like a jerk quoting them because of how expensive they are. Imho the last BMWs to own are e46, e38, e39. but still e66 are pretty comfy and moderately fun to drive.

          A tech will diagnose and fix the problem. A mechanic will change parts he thinks might be the problem. At least thats the explanstion my buddy gave me....:)

                Congrats on the new sled. However, I have had a E66 and it was one of the least reliable vehicles I have ever owned. Problem, after problem, after problem!

                I wish I had access to all the computer diagnostics though!

                  The e60 has the same features and it's not as huge. The e60 has all of those features you listed, dynamic drive, auto trunklid, voice over. The 550i has 360hp just like the 750Li, only the 550i is lighter in weight. The 5-series is a foot shorter than the 7 too.

                  Sorry, my boyfriend has an '06 550i and I think it's a bit too big. So of course I think the 7-series is wayyy too big! Hopefully you won't have to drive it mcuH!

                        I hate those nightmare of a cars- fun to drive but nothing but problems and sqeaks/wind noise everywhere.
                        I also love doing weekly wheelbearings and CCC crap on em!

                        not hating on the car at all, I love the looks of em and yours seems really nice. congrats.
