I'm really happy with my new car but am a little disappointed in the storage space for things like loose change,sunglasses etc. I used to have an M3 and it had more places to keep things than the E60 which I find surprising.

Yes, been discussed, the space in the E60 is rather weak. If you are not using the BMW phone in the cradle provided in the center console, have your dealer remove it for you. Provides a nice little bump in storage space. It's a bitch to get out, so I suggest letting the dealer do it, not really a DIY job.

I have to creditcard size entry cards for the private carparks in there. It works rather handy.
I've seen people who put their cd's in their but I find it to look a bit messy when you do that..

BUT, if you accelerate hard, I mean real hard (and we all know that you have to do it sometimes...
) the CD's decide to fall out... But in normal driving and even with normal acceleration it's no problem.

BTW, US spec cars don't seem to have that because they have knee airbags... I was told...
