Pictures of my new X5 4.8is and my "old" M3

[Beekbmwm3]

I picked up my X5 on December 22 in Philly and drove back to St. Louis on the 23rd. The first pic is when I picked her up and the rest are at home. Last is Sarah (my 04 M3) after a wash.

Does anyone know if I can get running boards aftermarket?

A late happy New Year to all!

Was she "economical" on the trip?

Thanks a lot for the nice comments. Yeah I have a deep love for Imola Red, it's a serious problem, and I have been to a therapist but it hasn't helped yet as you can see.

Economical? You mean MPG? If so, the tank on her is huge (23 gallons), so I feel like I can drive a long time before I fill her up. However, when I fill her up I need to take out a loan.

I'm not a big fan of SUV's, but M3's are another subject. If you hang on to both thats , but if had to get rid of one of them.....Please not the M3!!!! [bmwdance]

Your garage must look like some kind of mutant German fire station.
Great looking cars, real attention getters. Hope you can avoid the boys in blue.

Brian, the front and rear of your 4.8is look so hot. I still don't understand why BMW got so happy with the black plastic on the F & R bumper areas of the new 2007 X5 (both the 3.0si and 4.8i). The plastic is of a very high quality, and seems extremely durable, but yours just looks so much cleaner! Your 4.8is is just pure sex. So hot!

I have a hunch, that in 2+ years, when BMW decides to "facelift" the new X5, we can say Auf Wiedersehen to the black plastic, and Hallo to painted bumpers.

Looks great. I dont think ive seen either of your cars rolling around St. Louis.

Where abouts are you? I work at Clarkson/Olive and 40, live right next to Chesterfield Mall, and spend most of my time between the Valley and 270 and 40. Do you have the M in the Stl? I haven't seen you either, and I am always on the look for M3's. We need a stl meet when the weather gets warmer.
