I figured since there was a "What do you like least about your e60" I would twist this one around, and get some positive replies instead of all the negativity.


I love the fact I have the 545i V8 engine

I love how when I hold down the unlock key fob all my windows roll down simultaneously.

I love my Heads-Up display!

I love putting my car in DS with DSC off and hitting the gas, and listening to my tires squealing with power.

I love the triple action signal! MAKES IT SO SIMPLE!


Just a few I have plenty more but didn't wanted to take all the good replies! Haha

+1 on the 545i V8 I wouldn't chip this or sprintboost it as it's already perfect for my driving style. Yes I know people rave about the sprintbooster, and for their driving style it might be great, but for mine - it's already perfect. I wouldn't even want a 550i or an M5 either, this one is just right for me. Sure I'd borrow an M5 for a day and enjoy it (like I did the 510BHP RS6+ I drove, but I'd rather live with something a bit more tame. It makes it a lot easier to keep my driving licence when I drive a "car" rather than a "rocket".

As for the key fob window trick - that's standard on all German cars of the last 15 years, but yes it's good. Equally good to see all the windows roll UP simultaneously (and the sunroof).

I love my comfort seats with ventilation and heating. Perfect for all seasons.

Love the steptronic box - wouldn't want manual.

Even though I don't like the climate system - it's complicated and inflexible - I'd rather have more buttons/dials. Saying that though, I haven't adjusted ANY of my climate control settings for the past 5 months. I set the temperature I prefer, and right through winter it's been perfect. I haven't adjusted it in the slightest. So I guess I do like it really.

Love the dynamic drive, the braking, the cornering, the acceleration, the stability at very high speed (155mph), the low noise levels inside and pretty much everything else too.

The things I don't like are so minor they're hardly worth mentioning (but look, I am....) ..... I can't open the trunk/boot lid with the remote control when it's in the ignition (you have to take the key out press the button and then put it back in). That's all I can think of that I don't like.

Is there not a button down by your feet to open the trunk???

Things I like most:

1. Comfort Seats -- they are just outstanding

2. Engine -- both buttery smooth and very powerful, especially at highway speeds

3. Steptronic transmission -- is very silky in operation and readily downshifts two gears at highway speeds when I floor it with no hesitation at all

4. Logic 7 -- the bass is very strong -- much more so than the competition

5. Sport package styling -- the exterior body kit looks terrific

6. Steering wheel -- no one does a small diameter, thick sterring wheel better than BMW. I am always amazed at the skinny, large-diameter steering wheels that the competition saddles their "sport" sedans with.

I love the fact I switched out the factory run flat tires yesterday for Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole Position.
Love the smoother ride, way less noise and live with the slightly worse handling.

I never tire of watching my electrically adjustable steering wheel lower it's self into position everytime I put the key in
