Sorry to be such a noob on this, but a question (probably a FAQ but couldn't find it) has been driving me nuts. Just what does "LCI" stand for and when did it occur? I gather it refers to an exterior updating of the E60 a couple years ago, but don't really know. If there's a thread that discussed this just link me to it and that'll be enough here.

Have to say, I don't mind turning the wipers onto automatic although sometimes I've wondered why they weren't "fully" automatic, but the car wash scenario may be the reason (although I'd never put mine through a car wash)
Other things... The car remembers quite a lot of settings dependent on the key in use which is great as my wife and I both drive the car, however. Getting the seats to move to their position dependent on key I believe has to be configured by the dealer, as does the option to have the power mirrors fold when locking. Why since most other things are configured by iDrive can't these be added?
Also, the setting for the active seat bolsters (and also the auto wipers I think) isn't remembered per key and more annoyingly is automatically turned off after you get out of the car although interestingly they stay on if you get back in within 15 minutes or so!
That said, I think my E60 is *almost* perfect, I've been very please with it in my 4 months of ownership.

I would like an engine temperature gauge. I like to treat the engine gently when cold so I would find this useful.
