The E53 still looks very fresh, you'd be hard pressed to find another one from 1999 that fits as well on today's roads. Well, I hope they make fistfuls of money off of it. Then they can build CSLs and 8 Series'...right?... As much as I am not an SUV (or SAV) fan, I must say that I can’t believe this one is now ten years old.

I remember when the X5 came out - our local dealer had a sneak preview of The World Is Not Enough because of the Z8 as Bond's car. They had a black X5 3.0 out in front of the theatre which me, my uncle and cousin went over to look at before the movie. My uncle ended up picking one for my aunt immediately but I hated the thing until I drove one. Considering it's girth and height it's still a surprisingly agile vehicle. Man I wish I hadn't contradicted my loathing of the X5 M car by saying all that. God that makes me feel old.
