i think it's just a center speaker. every sound option you can get in E60 has at least 5 speakers. 4 in the corners and one in the middle. i think it has the same useage as in a homecinema surround system

A Very good morning to you guys !

I posted a topic earlier mentioning that I was to pick up my 535d from hamburg last saturday.
I was in Hamburg at 8am sharp, just as the dealer opened !! The car was chilling in the showroom shinning and eager to meet its new owner. After the paperwork and checking that I had everything, I set off home (which is 600km's away - Den Haag, Netherlands).

I begun cruising because I wanted to get used to the car - and besides I was playing with all the gadgets as i cruised on the autobahn. the Heads Up is just the coolest Toy ! Shows the speed, navigation, route and cruise control - very nice. And the Navigation is so so fast compared to my previous e39 CD based navigation where I had to wait for every zoom change. this one is instant! Also recalculating the route due to a missed exit or traffic is instant. nice.

The ride was very very comfortable. At 140 i felt like i was doing 60 (km\h). So time to speed it up a bit. i joined onto a 3 lane autobahn from 2 lane, and I slowly pressed the GoGo Juice Enhancer (exelerator pedal). T2 (thats her name - its a long story) simply amplified the speed without as much as a wimper. 200km\h , 220, 230, 240, 250. easy. and it felt solid on the M5 wheels\tyres. The Active Steering seemed to be doing its trick. oh dear i am going o love this! My last e39 even though tuned, refused to do above 240. Perhaps it was the 275 wheels?

On Sunday i found every excuse to go and visit friends - that was after i spent 2 hours cleaning T2 on the outside from those pesky german insects ! Those buggers splatter into a sad green goooiy smudge! Cant they go and fly somewhere else? Damn!

i must say i am impressed with the Active steering. i figured out that it is not to try and check the difference in turning between when u drive fast and when u drive slowly - cause u will never do a half-turn in one go when doing 100 !! but what to notice is that simply at low speeds small turns react much quicker than the standard car. feels like a Mini at times. Its a very very precise feel and lovely feedback when driving in town. Excellent option to have.

0-60mph. oh yes. i tried this from a few traffic lights. And my experience is rather strange.
I sat at the traffic lights. Gear in D. It went green and i floored it. Now i expected to be pushed forward but i wasnt. The back went crazy with a touch of wheelspin (even though the DTC\DSC was on) and i was THROWN off the start line. i then got myself together, focused again ahead of me and begun to expect the rush to 100km\h. But it never came. why? Cause i looked at the heads up display and i was already doing 100km\h ! Ok now thats wierd. i cant imagine its 6.5 secs. it felt 2secs quicker.
This car seems to use its torque to show off, and simply throws u to the target speed. Wondoer what it will do when DMS blows into it! mmhh.

It was only today that i figured out why the 0-100 above felt as it did. i was doing it while on Drive, and due to the torque change when the 2nd turbo kicks in, if u even slightly lift off the throttle at 2500 revs, the car will change up gear. I tried again today the 0-60mph but this time with SPORt mode on. yup! this time she pulls all the way to 5000rpm then changes,...oooohhh thats nice. i could do that over and over again all day!
Ok for the more experienced 535d owners,.. any tips on what to try next? And where did u guys say the Nurburgring was?Finally bought a beautifull 535d M-Sport !!!-t2_in_nl_005.jpg
