I Know it does this and can be turned off...but since when does the Iphone (I have one as well) make you illiterate? SORRY.
SORRY.My thought exactly. The cap thing did not bother me at all. It was the fact that he has no grasp of the english language.

But in all honesty, I think the 5.7 0-60 posted for my 535xi is extremely conservative. There have been times, not in DS (I dont have the sports package either) where I accelerated from a stop light and hit 60 in what felt like barely 5 seconds. I don't know of any tracks around me otherwise I'd love to get a formal time reading on it, and I don't the using the iDrive's stopwatch is a smart idea either. Or is it?
With that being said, I think a 535 would dust an E350, and hey, what do I know, but I think it would beat an E550 too. 0-60 in 5.4? Only +84 HP with two more cylinders? Forget the weight, the engine is pretty inefficient on its own. I know the 550i is very similar, but tests have shown it getting 0-60 times in the upper 4's (4.8). Therefore, I would feel confident challenging an E class and an A6. The S6 is 20 grand more and still doing 0-60 in 5.1. I know 0-60 isn't everything, but the broad range of power of an I-6 or the S6's bulky V8?? I'm still a newbie, but I think it follows common sense that the E60's performance and price is unrivaled by many cars that are still 20K more than it yet still deemed "performance" cars. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, you took me to a youtube log in page while I was already logged in from before. I dunno how you managed to do that.
