Really nice. The only thing is that I would have it serviced elsewhere. Prestige has the absolute WORST service department. I never had anything on my M3 fixed right the first time and when it was out of warranty, they tried to rip me off on service and repairs several times.

Jeffnnj,

So far so good with their service department for me. Sorry you had a bad experience with them.

Irony,

One you have the ipod adapter installed the music shows on the i-drive screen and you control the music and the ipod with the i-drive.

You know what Rick, one would have been okay. I will give you a few examples. It took them 8 visits to install the correct seat cover to match the rest of the interior when my driver's seat ripped. It took them 5 visits to diagnose and replace my soft top headliner. It took the 6 visits to properly adjust my hard top and when they finally did, it scratched my trim all to hell. Then for my first after warranty service visit they wanted to charge me $270 for a simple oil change because "BMW won't allow us to reset the service light unless we completely inspect the car" something I found out for their field rep was a total lie.

I hear what your saying but I believe they've changed allot since then. Check out my sig, I had so many problems with my first 2008 535xi that they finally bought it back and I was able to order a new one from them. It took allot a work but they did it.

Rick...
