My Ride: My 1st was an '06 530xi, Titanium Silver w/ gray dakota leather, sport pkg. & Nav.
Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this side of the forum for their help, insight and information. This forum helped me to understand my car better, address issues and enjoy my first BMW even more. I will be moving over to the E63 side with the purchase of my new 650i. Best of luck in the future and continue to enjoy your rides'.

You're not going anywhere! You're still an E60 owner, just an E63 owner. I recently sold my xi as well to an M5 and you don't see me running over to M5Board . Just busting your chops . We're still your family, so don't plan on leaving us any time soon.
Congrats on the new ride b/t/w! Can't wait to see pix!

Can't wait to see pix!I won't go anywhere, there is still much more exciting action on this side of the classroom.
Before I can post any pictures I have to have a windshield/glass problem resolved. Before I took delivery I noticed what appeared to be dried water drop stains on the windshield. I pointed them out to my sales rep. who advised that they would be removed during prep. When I got the car it looked good. The next morning (7 a.m. I could not wait) I washed the car, dried the car including the windshield and they were back! They can be seen depending on the angle of the light even after cleaning the glass. I called the sales rep and he wants me to bring it back but suggested I put a coat of wax on the glass, which I refuse to do. Has anyone had a similar problem? I have used several different glass cleaners to no avail. I also tried a little alcohol on an inconspicuous area and that did not do anything.
I know this, it is very frustrating because I hate looking through a dirty windshield.
