Only one major issue --- the I-drive is way too slow and sometime unresponsive, especially with Nav (which you have).
And if this isn't addressed in the upcoming "refresh", I likely won't be re-leasing when my current lease is up. But I'm hopeful that BMW will wake up.........

I had few problems on my e60, but they were all fixed. I enjoy the car so much, I forgot the problem was..

iDrive slow - just an annoyance
Wind noise is high inside the cabin at arround 60+ MPH (especially if the sunroof cover is open)
The steptronic transmission could use more tuning
Not enough programmable buttons. You get the star and the diamond and that's it!
I love the fact that you can upgrade its software. When I bought my 545i last year, it did not come with Bluetooth or MP3 capability. I had the dealer retrofit my mp3 and bluetooth! awsome! not many cars can get upgraded this easily!
It is my first BMW and despite the minor complaints that I have, I love this car! I am planning to keep it for at least 8 years!
