Hi Folks,
After my crash I am looking for another e60. Two options I never had but think I would like. Firstly, voice activation. Does it work? Is it any good? Would I use it?
Comfort seats? Who has them and are they any good?
Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks as always

Fraseman

Voice Activation: I use it a few times but it did not work well with me. Voice recognition often select something else I asked for. You should try it before to see if it is good with your voice.

Comfort seat: Very good. One of the best option. You can set the seats really the way you want it.

Have comfort seats now and would highly recommend them. Love the curing headrest and second articulation in backrest.

Comfort seats are awesome. Should definitely think about getting those.

I use voice recognition from time to time mostly for the phone. It works well for me.

I have to go with comfort seats man, the voice activation sucks. I mean there is no chance that a second English language speaker could use it right. The lexus a bit better but still sucking the same loll

Voice recognition is OK. Sometimes it takes awhile to get through menus, but I use it every time I use my phone since it's much easier to dial out saying the name instead of searching through my whole phone book. I also use it to get back to my iPod menu when I'm somewhere else since it's faster than using the iDrive.

If I didn't have it, I would definately miss it just for voice dialing the phone.
