thanks for that info, as i was a bit shocked the last time i had a service
at bmw with the SB already on (they knew it was on from a reading on their computer)
when the car came back it was very sluggish, it felt like it didn't have the SB on, until
i put the K+N in and floored it a few times, now it is very fast in gearchanges.
so the car adapts to your driving style??

I am not sure about that, I thought the last E-class was ugly when it first came out, but then after a while it started to look better... the new 7 series too, I hated it when I saw it on photo, but when I see the real thing it was another story...

And 1 thing that I am vvvvv disapointed w BMW is the adaptive step gearbox that tune itself to become jerky after a while.

thats why we have to reset the tranny in certain amount of time to eliminate the sluggish/jerky
