After driving a E60 in really narrow city conditions for about 2 years,
I still can't excactly measure the lenght of my E60's rear

,
I ususally leave a 20 cm loose.
No problems with the cars breadth nor front.

Glad you get the car appropriate fixed

I visited the dealer today and got MP3

They booked a time for the car, and the BMW dealer will take care of that! Our insurance company want us to hand the car in at a Toyota dealer, but we said that this was a special car, which needs specialist

So now BMW would fix it..

O yeah - you wanna see it? (Car is dirty at the picture)

It really hurts looking at it

I was reaching for a 545 Sport, so I was watching every option. In order to get the PDC you also had to get NAV so the total was something like $3,000 more. I can still back into something two more times before I would break even. I would get it now though. I am ordering a Jeep Commander as a second vehicle and I added that option.

Really? I thought it was always a stand alone option even on the early builds? Mine was standard on the 545 and just before sept 2004 it was a $700 stand alone option... you didnt have to get NAV...

Maybe they changed it or maybe it had something to do with my car being within the first two weeks of the inital production run for SMG cars. Now I think its standard anyway.
