Very positive sign!
My car just reached "awaiting transport" status. Reading about the new transmission just adds to the agony of waiting.

Are you sure that's how it works? The E60 SMG (non-M) works exactly the opposite way -- thumbs shift down and fingers (pulling toward you) shift up.
(The M5 uses a different setup. On the M, pulling the right paddle shifts up and pulling the left paddle shifts down...)

I'll have a play and report back

You have to have special clearance with CTU to do that...
I got all the clearance I need.
I bet all you need is the Call sign of the ship. I forgot what it was for the Undine...

The 8 buttons for the idrive memory are all just under the single CD which can be seen on this photo
Or is the description of the 550i's buttons taken from the BMWUSA website in error?
Maybe it's a legal thing in case up to two buttons fail!!

So do our American cousins get short-changed by two buttons?
