I wish I was in your shoes. But, nonetheless, I continue to experience a lesser thrill every time I drive, clean, or just look at mine. Be careful until you get the feel of your great new vehicle.?

I drove a 1990 5spd Honda Accord for 14 years. I sold it for the cost of a set of tires on my E60. Big jump was was overdue.

I can definately see how this car could scare someone - lots to absorb and figure out. Thankfully that has never been an issue with me. Idrive seemed to work fine, although I am already looking for ways to get through screens faster - I am sure there is an easier way to do some stuff. Day one highlights:
1. Seeing the hyundai out of the corner of my eye as I drove out of the parking lot
2. Taking my first cloverleaf at 45 (ok, you gotta start somewhere)
3 Picking up daughter at daycare, finding out that you need to flip the switch in the door to keep said daughter from opening the locked doors. Yikes!!
4. First nighttime drive....those headlights are amazing.
I also just activated Sirius, and thanks to e60.net I knew to ask about applying the one free year towards a lifetime membership. No hassles whatsoever. I also just ordered the red reflectors...the dealer didn't have them in stock.
All in all, a great day!!

Try not to neglect your daughter too much over the next few days...
Just Kidding of course.
My 2 year old daughter was so excicted when I left this morning.
"Daddy bring home new car today"
She is almost excited as me!
