Thanks guys, for the well wishes. (Mariano, great to see you here as well- this is a great, very active Forum- I believe that BMWFAQ is going down- I see less participation each day- dont know why). I'm still trying to make my mind up regarding this car- it is sooo different from the E39 (no sport suspension) but I am only driving the E60 on weekends and haven?t had enough "cockpit time" to really conclude- what is very clear is that Dynamic Drive in its "comfort" mode is very comfortable- it really absorbs all the irregularities. I have to play with the transmission a bit more- understand the difference between "M1-M6" and "S1- S5" in Normal mode and "S1-S5" in Sport mode (this last one is like a manual change). I also find the Active Steering to fell quite "natural" and great on the twisty roads. I'll keep ypu posted.
