I do not let anybody to touch my car. Not even to drive it.
Mostly because I do not have memorry function seat and I hate to re-adjust my seat. It took me about a month to get comfortable after I bought the car
My nightmare is coming, a day in a service....

Qantas offer a valet parking service at the domestic airports here in Australia and I check my baby in everytime I fly (which at this stage is weekly).
The people parking the car are all older workers (i.e. no teenagers/early twenties) and the one's I've seen are responsible looking people (i.e. no weird haircuts and tattoos) so I don't have any issue with them parking it.
My only gripe with the parking is that there's not enough undercover parking so they park it exposed to the elements. :thumbsdown:

Maybe we need also that power button to every e60, so that power can be limitted to, let's say, 20hp! 
That way people who don't respect this machine don't get much out of it.
NO to valet raicing!! :thumbsdown:
Yes for a frend who want to try!

you are good skaffa, 20hp can't even move the car. Just good enough for a scooter probably.You are right no to valet racing :thumbsdown:
And no for a friend who want to race on my car :thumbsdown: but if he really want to try than it depends on what kind of car that friend drives.

Maybe a rev limiter like those on a F1 car will do the trick to limit valet racing.
