Back to an all roundel family (E70 content)

[redsubdivisions]

I checked out an E70 X5 last Sunday and decided to go for it. I had an E53 before and I foolishly got rid of it for a Jetta TDI back in 2013. Well, the time has to come to get rid of that overhyped piece of shit (thanks to the diesel emissions scandal, I am able to walk away from the car) and go back to another BMW. The wife and I had regret it not too long after we got the Jetta, but the papers were signed and we had no recourse. Fast forward to today and I went and picked it up from a private owner.

Obligatory picture:


74k miles, all service records from the dealer, 1 owner from a pretty wealthy community so it was well taken care of. It's loaded for a 6-cylinder and I feel I made a solid choice. Now all that is needed is a hitch so I can tow the E30 to the track.

Anyone on here own one of these?

Nice We have an E70 as well people think were rich because we have three BMWs "no that is why I'm poor" :p

What year is yours

[redsubdivisions]

lol I'm in the same boat as you. I have all older ones (E30, E46, now the E70). I'm not rich by any means.

And it is a 2009.

Looks nice! I'll be interested to hear your ownership experience over time. I really want a 2011-2013 35D.

Definitely, I will try to keep things updated. a diesel model is definitely going to be different. I was originally looking into one but the cost of them is higher than I anticipated, so I went with a NA 3.0.

I do, it's a 2002, so it's far from newer. lol That E46 has been a great car to me, so that one stays as the daily driver while the wife uses the X5 85% of the time (kiddie/grocery hauler).

Which E90 do you have? I almost thought about getting one a few years back, but ended up getting a good low mileage E46 instead.

Bought a 2011 328 xdrive for my wife.
She got tired of driving a Honda Odyssey everyday and occasionally driving the BMWs we did have!!
She likes it. I think our E39 is quieter inside and better on the highway......happy wife happy life!

E39s are phenomenal highway cars, particularly the I6s. I averaged 27 MPG going back and forth to Florida last month, doing 80+ most of the way there.

I drove to Phoenix a couple summers ago and got the same.
Hands down my e39 is my favorite BMW!!

a friend of mine has an M54 powered E39 and it has been great to him as well.
