I really wasn't ready to ditch the E70, it drives great and I still liked it just fine. But my wife decided it was time for it to go (I don't know why — it's not even her car) and y'know, pick your battles and all that.
It's my first brand new bimmer in a long time (I have a thing for CPOs). It's also the first car I've
ever bought that wasn't black or silver/grey.
I'll come back with more pics once I've pointed a real camera at it, but in the meantime here's a few cell phone snaps plus one of the pics from the dealer's listing. I'm absolutely in love with this paint: so understated in everything but bright direct light, and once it's in the sun it dances!
The lowdown:
xDrive 40i
Phytonic Blue Metallic
MSport Package
22" Style 742M wheels (didn't see myself as a black wheels guy, but here we are)
Coffee Vernasca Leather interior
Parking Assistance package
Premium package
EDIT: lol at my now 11 year old sig pic; I haven't been around here in a while... man I miss that car!

My neighbors must think I've lost my damn mind
Love how the color can be really muted & buttoned down in some light, super playful and light in other light. I think the 4 series in front is Portimao Blue Metallic (just a guess).
