I wud fire that Canadien Lebanese ,their interior designer who spoiled typical BMW interior, driver's oriented dashboard, put on hideous door handles(inside),created see of cheesy plastics. :'( Seems 6-series car was done by another interior designer.

i have 4.. but all very very minor....
1) - Put window switches back in center console... all my other bm's had them there and i still automatically reach that way.
2) - boot shutline.. make it look like it is closed..
3) - put digital instrumentatin on i-drive screen as an option .. i.e. oil pressure / volume / temperature. volt/amp meter, water temperature and engine block core temperature. or as a screensaver..
4) - improve the stereo systems, the logic7 sucks compared to most premium car brands offerings i have heard.. i would have paid a lot more for something approaching good rather than the compromise middle of the road system they install.

Hi...
Just sold my 2001 E39 and got me a 2004 E60, lovely bably... 530d manual, black leather interior... this machine is a wolf unleashed... garshhh!!
The design of the interior is ok! it's the trend these days, except the quality of material is really really below the belt. I think bimmer should reconder their material vendor.
