While I LOVE the preformance of my 545 I have to tell you, the styling is a bit lacking. LOL look at the results, you would think LED brake lighting was golden

I voted for a styling changes. But what I really want to see is an upgraded NAV system.

I'd vote for a better Nav System and faster iDrive.

Step:

Quicker shifting
No forced shifts when using M mode until "real" potential damage is sensed
Allow one to shift manually close to redline--say from 6k RPM to 6.4k RPM.
Downshift automatically to M1 when in M mode.

I expect the updated 'box will reach the E60 soon (The 40% faster change - first to appear on 335i Coupe)
