Ahhhhhhhhhhhh well... "a small problem" most E60 problems are HUGE no?
Right, no glitches at all for the E60.

I've got one.
And how many glitches/foibles? (genuinely interested - not trying to pull your leg or anything)

I've had

1. SMG slam when using auto mode. Fixed with V16.2 software

2. Increased Emissions. About 10 months ago. Went away in 3 days and hasnt come back. *knock on wood*

and thats it. those are the only glitches I've had to date that I can remember.

By end of 1st Year:
Replaced key transmitter.
Software broke my car when I upgraded to 20.01.00 so I could have MP3. Now, I can barely spin my wheels.
Had oil changed.
Seats still don't switch driver settings as they are supposed to.
CD player keeps on ticking when car is turned off.
I couldn't get 390 HP with bolt-on, after-market parts.

Well, on the basis of this highly statistically significant sample of one E60 and one E90, the E90 wins hands down!

I have owned both a E90 from new last year and an E60 new this year - and the E60 is far better - the E90 was always going back to dealer but I guess it was so new out. Both same 2.0d engine.
