I don't know if I want to mess around with the electricals, the last time I did that on my other cars the dash lights went off lol.
Not a big deal, I don't need to be watching movies while I'm driving anyway. I am going to research what mods I plan to do most likely the sprint booster, RPI scoop, and *maybe* exhaust mods.. not sure since I've heard that you can lose a few horses from doing this.
I'm also thinking about putting in a proceed or dinan chip as well, but like I said I'm going to research these first.

This evening I took a long drive on the NJ turnpike and all I can say is this car rides very smooth. ALOT smoother than my 2007 525i with a manual transmission.
The car just leaps from standstill to 80 in what seems like blink of an eye. I'm just worried I will be speeding a lot without knowing it
The car pulls effortlessly and it seems that BMW did something different with the interior to make it feel a bit more sturdy, less windnoise, its hard to describe but it just feels good.
The comfort/sport seats as everyone have said in the past is amazing.. I can't believe how comfortable they are.
I'm still very shocked at how powerful this car pulls, its truly an amazing ride.

I can't wait to see it at a future meet. It looked beautiful in pictures.

Yeah, its unique, but on a sunny day the reflections are brutal... I sat in one outside the lot at a dealer.

Just some few cool stuff I noticed between MY2007 to MY2010..

1. The idrive screen can now be turned off completely. Very helpful during long night time drives to ease the eyes.
My old idrive could turn off but it still had background lights that kinda defeated the purpose.

2. Navigation is now voice commandable. All I do now is push the VC button and say the address in a normal speed and the idrive computer detects every word. Impressive! Voice command has gotten much better. I can also push the VC button and say Navigation >address book >friends name and routing starts.

3. Music don't keep playing when the car shuts off, so when I shut off my car and a certain part of the song and return later, it resumes same place.


I'll add more as I find them
