My Ride: 2006 525Xi, premium package, premium sound, steptronic, bi-xenon adaptive lights, PDC, rear sun shade, rear heating, cold weather package.
It is about one week since I took the delivery of my 2006 525Xi.
So far, everything is running as it suppose to. Thanks to the forum,
I have mastered the turning singal switch within one hour after I took the delivery.
So far, only two thing I want to complain about. First one is the break dust,
man, it is HORRIBLE, it only took like 100 miles to get rim dirty.
Second thing I want to complain about is that, the iDrive does not
display Chinese (Traditional), so it makes my MP3 list useless, because
it shows characters like this (&^%%$*&, but so far no way to cure it,
at least in the US. I can live with that, but it is hard to know which track
is playing.
After all, I have to say, this is an AWESOME vehicle to drive,
and to have fun with.

sounds like you are playing some @#$%^&* cool songs . i think you won't see any chinese displays in the near future. the only way to cure it is translate them in english .

My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
100 miles to get dirty rims from brake dust? I get brake dust backing out of my garage
I agree with you though, I've had my 545i 10 days and I love it, despite the lack of chinese MP3 character support which I was really hoping for.

ability to display Chinese, Japan, and Korean. Because ususally, if one of them,
say Chinese can be displayed, other two can be disaplyed as well.
I knew the iDrive in Taiwan, and China has been ported to support Chinese.
