I prefer to steer with my knees thank you! Cell phone on one hand and news paper in the other... NO SLURPY!!! no drinks in car. Oh ya... one eye on the iDrive playing a movie that I enjoy a lot.

I know unfortunately, you Germans don't get to do that

. It's really not bad at all.Especially as I'm eating my bagel on my way to work while trying to keep my coffee from popping out of my new cupholder, as I'm checking new posts on this forum on my Treo650 just before I get a voicemail coming through my Bluetooth connection just after I use voice control to change the CD because I'm taking a corner just a little off line that active steering is correcting with a little opposite lock....

SMG is really good. The auto mode really isn't so bad. My wife and I had to share a car for a few days and she uses the auto mode. It worked really well.
I guess cars are becoming more like computers everyday. Each one is never the same. That is why I haven't gotten a software update yet. No need.
