My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
I'm not defending the new technology, but I think the HP war is already getting out of hand. I mean c'mon, we have 500hp sedans these days. How much more do you want? The next generation 5 Series will have around 500HP, and the next generation M5 will have 600HP.

People looks at Toyota Camry V6 268 hp compared to BMW 258hp selling for 40K? What do you think? Of course Toyota driving is nothing near BMW, but you'd get my point.

No, I don't want to keep looking at the iDrive sceen when I'm driving at night.

I absolutely agree. It seems that any safety advantage gained by the IR would be more than offset by the requirement of watching the iDrive screen while driving.

By the time you get your eyes off the i-Drive screen back on the road, you're already kiss the deer/moose
I wish BMW improve more on transmission lag and throttle response.
