My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
The car is going to be bezerk. Still in "break in" mode but can feel the rush.
The SMG is great. I thought that I would be a 50/50er with the manual and auto mode but I only use manu mode. There is a big difference between normal and sport modes, I am only using sport.
On my car, when ever I shift into reverse is goes back to normal mode though and I have to reselect sport.
I replaced the rear reflectors today, looks much better (Silver Gray car) and differentiates my car from others. You pull out from the black insert on the center of the car side, not the street side. Street side is a tongue and slot. I looped a couple pieces of fishing line behind and pulled. Not so bad.
I want to install my radar detector but have only seen posts that splice or crimp into an existing hot wire. Anybody find any connectors above the mirror that are not being used?

My Ride: 545 SMG Individual interior, all options except Nav & HUD.
congrats on yr new car...
I have a 545 SMG due too in July & am most concerned about the "jerkiness" I read about. Is it really bad?
Also, do you have sports pkg?
