You will need to press Stop button twice. The first one stops the engine. The second one puts the computer to sleep mode.
And to the OP, congratulations on a great looking car!

Very nice, i like the colour, just a few tweeks now like tints etc
BTW I'd also recommend a different set of grilles - those chromed surrounds just don't complement neither the car, nor the color, really

Even though the sound of the inline 6 is not bad either, I have to say, you guys are really making me wanna get a V8 today
You're welcome to take mine out for a spin if you'd like.

This choice was solidified today when it was a few hours after I had washed it so I could roll the windows down and I could hear the exhaust.
Just wait until it's broken in ... it goes and sounds even better.

Just picked up a new 2008 550i from Fresno last night. Apparently the dealer was required to sell the car instead of leasing (and most people are leasing because Fresno's unemployment rate is among the highest in the nation), so needless to say it was never sold. Now that the 2010 5's are arriving in dealerships we got an amazing deal.
As for my question: the car has comfort access and after turning the engine off and getting out of the car, the radio stays on unless I lock it. When I park in my garage I don't lock the car and it's annoying to have the radio on for... however long in stays on for I'm not quite sure. Is there any way around this? I don't want to have to lock my car when I park in my garage because I don't want the alarm being set off when my family is doing things in the garage and it senses motion.
Thank you in advance for the help! It's an amazing car. I'm still in shock!

I would rather go with the M5 deck if I were to install a spoiler.
Grats on your purchase OP.
