By definition, a glitch is something that happens out of normal operations but fixed itself after reboot, reset, or some non dealership involvement.
What glitches have you experienced with your E60? I'll start . . .
1. One morning, daytime running lights (DRL) stopped working. Setting was in auto and the LED light was off when it should be on. Went into a dark garge, the lights came as normal. Went outside the garage (daytime) and the DRL remained on.
2. One time, started the car in the morning. The engine hesitated and stopped. Couldn't restart the car again until I pulled out the car, and reinserted the key and restart just normal.
3. On time, closed trunk lid (it snapped in lightly). Drove off and trunk lid open warning came on. I think it was because I didn't close the trunk firmly down like usual.
What's your glitches?

1. "Anti-trap function deactivated" - passenger window.
Fix it by rolling the window all the way to the top, release the switch, pull the switch again to make it go up further although it can't. This fix this warning messsage.
2. Most of the time, headlight sensor works very well. Sometime, the sun shine directly to the windshield and headlight still on : wacko:

1. Trunk open icon appears when trunk is not even open.
2. CD sometimes go back to disc 1 even though I have been listening to disc 3 before shutting off the car.
Other than that no problem thus far.

1. got tire puncture warning on the first 2 weeks. Fixed by resetting the idrive on the dealer (5 minutes job)
2. got airbag warning 2 months ago. It turns out that the airbag sensor was really broken on passenger side.i dont know how but seems it is not a good design since all of passengers have a normal weight.
otherwise I am a HAPPY with this car.
