i really dont mind the lack of storage. The slot under the cd player holds my wallet. Phone stays in the pocket at all times because the bluetooth. The cost of bullshit options pisses me off. The ipod adapter should cost 100-200 for EVERYTHING. Its a joke what they charge. The dash should have a indash 6. My brothers piece of shit dodge stratus r/t had an indash six as a 2004 and my 2006 e60 still has a single cd player.

other than this i like my car.

 

I love my e60 100%

 

This is the only thing I don't get about these cars...a Mustang comes standard with ipod connect but our cars don't....

Other than that...no complaints here

 

New Mustangs might, but I can certainly vouch that in 2006 they did not.. Cost me $300 to retrofit it. And then a month later the AUX in on the radio broke. :-(


I don't like the total lack of storage in the interior. The "cell phone cradle" is nothing but a waste of space in the console.

+1 on steering wheel blocking the view of the heated steering wheel indicator light, and the turn signal lights as well.

Everything else is great.

 

I'm good at complaining...


There was a bit of a blind spot that almost got
me into trouble (even when looking over my
shoulders) when I first got the car. I now
make it a point to twist my head around
all the way before I switch lanes as opposed
to a quick glance.

The standard seats that come with the premium
package are just crap.

The brakes grab really hard when stopping normally.

Center console needs a change holder.

The "DING DING" seatbelt dummy noise gets old
after a while.

There needs to be more power in the 535i BEYOND
6k in the RPM range.

Side mirrors should be 1" wider

Make "fold down seats" for the trunk standard, not
an option.

Other than that, the car is perfect.

 

Overall, my 550i Sport is wonderful. But like every car, there is room for improvement.

The interior really lacks storagk space -- especially the center close area.

The cupholders are too small.

The navigation system is primative when compared to the competition, especially from Japan (perhaps the 2010 hard drive-based upgrade is a leap forward). In particular it is slow and the quality of the graphics is poor. My Garmin Nuvi 350 is much better.

The trunk takes too much effort to close.

No backup camera -- a big omission in a $70K plus car.

Still, nothing in the class drives as well as it does. Nothing in the class touches the engine/transmission.suspension/steering.

 

i drive works well, whats the fuss, all the others have copied it.

only bad things are ALL the storage/cupholders, tailgate hard to close, interior material wears out easily and yes the steering wheel obstructs the dials, plastic covers on seat rails have fallen off, crap armrests

+++points
the driving, the styling
much better seating and room than MB E and CLS and Audi, dash shape looks like batman emblem,

 

me and you looking at these cars with the same eyes i think. I dont smoke and have quarters in my ash tray spot as well.

 

I don't like the hesitation when you slightly press the gas pedal and the car does not want to go. I have only owned it for a month now and I'm sure I'll get use to it.

 

If I had a slot under the CD player, I'd be happier. I've got the odd DVD slot there which, from what I'm told, is solely for the navi. That's really weird. But the car kicks ass. No question about that.
