Just be careful what you ask for... my wife won't even use her GPS in the Toyota (Denso) anymore and it was rated higher than the BMWs. It has the touch screen but it's horrible.

Twice a year change is it THAT difficult? would we want cars that drive for us? Why does everyone want everythin to be automated? Yes its an easy implementation but its also an easy change... 1 min of your time... No wonder people are so dependent on driving aids.

Touch screen is nice if the screen was positioned where the old E39s screen is or the E46 but where the iDrives is... no I wont wnat to reach all the way in there. I prefer the layout of the E60 vs older Screen layouts. Easier to see and watch the road.

Yes, if it were just 1 minute, twice a year I could tolerate it.

But it isn't... It's one minute of your time every bloody week if you want to keep the clock anywhere near accurate. What's the point of having an hourly time signal option when the beeps are NEVER at the top of the hour?

This really does show lack of attention to detail.
