... I'll have to go through the iDrive menu's and see what items is shows me... I'm just not used to having a car that actually TELLS you what's wrong with it...
It won't tell you the cam belt needed replacing 22,000 miles ago...

All of this is great info... I'll have to go through the iDrive menu's and see what items is shows me... I'm just not used to having a car that actually TELLS you what's wrong with it... I had the 3 series before and you'd simply guess at what items needed to be serviced...

How about the automatic trans? Has anyone had problem with their trans in the E60 yet?
nothing for me yet. working fine.
