Tony,

I can't remember all of it to be honest but auto aircon with dual zone climate control is one, cruise control is another.

The auto AC was one of the features for the ol' E39. There was also Sport, Comfy and Individual packages available for a bargain.

Depending on markets Cruise was (and was not) standard for the new E60.

BMW develops their cars all the time. So you may have different parts in your '03 vs. '05 car (not to talk about the facelifted model coming Sept. 2007).

But ISUK knows the facts. If you'll buy a facelifted E60 in 2010 you'll get a different car that you can buy today, and probaply a fully loaded one for less ?? or $$ or ??.

But why not live today???

Torch? Sounds like a fire hazzard to me.

Ahh, the good ole language differences across the ocean.


One of BMW's little brand features is the rechargeable torch in the glovelocker. I'm told that (for the E60) this was deleted as standard some 2 years ago and is now an ?11 option. Is this true? If so, perhaps we could send a resounding raspberry to the accountants in Munich? We don't expect Deutshmark pinching from BMW I think.

Ah... that missing torch.. I miss the odd flames, smoke and the smell of burning wood veneer from my E39.

I do not find any connector where the touch would be attached in the glove compartment as far as Spore version is concerned. Why is this location ?
