Now my adventure really begins. I picked up my new car yesterday and I'm thrilled. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet. Got my radio programmed for my favorite station, got the Homelink programmed for the garage door, and the bluetooth synched up with my phone. I found the I-drive very intuitive and easy to use. I sat in the dealer's lot with my sales guy and introduced myself to BMW assist (and deferred handing over my credit card number).

Thanks e60 Forum. You helped.

Are those dates based on your owner's circle updates or did your SA get you that information?

Exactly. After having spent time browsing this forum, I felt very comfortable with all the subtle aspects of the car. He got himself a little tripped up trying to describe DSC and DTC and how and when to disable. We had a chuckle.
