I agree. And voice command is the coolest... I love it!

Nice to hear the voice control is working well - was worried there for a minute.
Some people had problems with this feature...

Not when you're in a car wash you don't [/quote]
I would never take my baby into a car wash.

Shhh, don't scare him.

In any case, I'd be happy to have to turn it off rather than on.

Peace.

Works fine unless I have the A/C blasting on full; this happens to be the case whenever I start the car (mmmm, Atlanta summers...). So, I use iDrive instead of voice to get to navigation.

I really need to memorize the voice commands.

Peace.

just talk louder with the A/C on full blast. that is working just fine with me. the only time i have problems with the voice command is when i have someone in the car who is talking at the moment i am issuing the command or when i have windows/sunroof down and driving faster.

hmmm, now that i think of it, the voice command didn't recognize commands few times when i had the A/C on full blast but talking louder fixed that problem.

i still use the i-drive though

I forgot two other things:

? active steering: mmmm turning radius, even easier parallel parking.

? pop up trunk: I like doing that remotely... sometimes I do it even when I don't need to get anything out of the trunk.

Peace.

Even when people see you doing it??????.. I love that option too but don't know if it would do it in public without having to get anything out of it...

I absolutely love the mini spoiler effect of the mirco ridge on the trunk (boot?). Every time I see that I think "somebody went the extra mile to make this look and ride just right". It is the little things
