i think it depends on the driving style and how far your seat is relative to the default arm rest, if you sit quite forward (i do, i use the BMW advanced driving training position), the arm rest sliding forward helps close the gap.

i seem to use it whenever i drive.... that is because i don't drive with 2 hands on the wheel. I find it annoying driving with 2 hands on the wheel. my left hand is on the wheel, and my right elbow is on the rest and my hand on the gear selecter (dunno why, i have an auto)

I only use the sliding arm rest on long journeys, otherwise no point in using it around town.

I need to push the clutch pedal fully, and be up closer to do that. I sit more upright and can push the pedals in.
On an automatic, I don't need to be in to push anything all the way to the ground--at least not on a regular basis. So, I sit back much further.

SueBMW,
A bit off topic and uut of curiosity from your E60 signature "Early-build excessivley problematic 2004".
How is an early build 2004 car so problematic. E60s came out back in mid 2003, so they will have teething problems but a 2004? That's strange.
