Have had my e60 for about a year now and love the car. Its sleek, clean, and I get looks all the time. I just kinda miss the pick of a V8 or twin turbo.....n i couldn't afford a 535 at the time and i need AWD.
Newaz, still loving my 530. Just don't overtake as easily or confidently as i used to with the s4.
Just bitchin coz I'm at work and bored out of my mind!!!!!!



oh almost forgot. My left rear window does not go up or down with one touch like the other 3 do. There is an image of the window on the dash where it shows the window only half way up. Is this covered under warranty?? thanks.

re, the window. Maybe it needs a reset/activation. Go to the left rear window switch, keep it pressed down, hold it for a few seconds, then keep it pressed up to close, keep it pressed again for a few seconds when it's closed. Repeat if necessary - you should be good. Had the same prob a few months ago.
