As pa550 described, once you get used to canceling the turn signals in the same direction as they're indicating, you'll have no problems accidentally activating them in the opposite direction. Give it some time and practice and before you know it, you'll have to find something else to "hate" about the car...
You can disable triple turn signal activation in the settings menu...

One feature that bothers me is the fact that the car cannot be programmed to unlock the doors when shifted into park. You can program it to lock the doors above a certain speed but cannot (at least I haven't been able to) program it to unlock when parked. You have to pull the door handle twice to open the door.
Not a big deal, but I would like to have the option.

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
The narrow driver's footwell that does not leave enough room for (size 12/46) clutching without catching my shoe on the dead pedal. Rear and lateral visibility (small mirrors too) sucks. Both are really annoying, given BMWs emphasis on ergonomics and safety.
As for pure design arrogance, the tabla rasa sides and bumpers without any rubstrip protection is incredible.
Cheers,
Ray Hull

As they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." After having said that, I could not stand the stock front bumper and it's frown. The M-Tech Aero kit alleviated that.

1. Hate runflat tires makes the ride quality aweful.
2. dash looks outdated comparied to the E90 3-series. Climate controls should be Digital displays.
3. leather to hard, needs to be softer ALA E39 5 series models.
