The feeling of confidence in our machines, the great driving, sound and performance. Not to mention the V10-SMG combo!

Main reason is the motor. I still feel it's not as much a drivers car as the E39...more disconnected and more of a cruiser than a carver.

I never had any of these featrues before in the 3 series and never had any problems parking but now that I have them I rely on them and will definitely want them in my next car.

I like the body style and especially the way the "Eyes" are looking at you from the font-view. Plus, the Heated Seats/Steering Wheel....

Default

For me personally......ever since I did the mods to my car.......I love the styling. W/O the M-tech, wheels, lowering and the lip spoiler its vanilla...but will all that the car's lines and design are just sooo smooth from the side profile and the rear quarter view..the angles are just so sharp and masculain....just spectacular!!! haha.

I am also a fan of the blue tooth.....I love it as I am alsways on the phone.

The fact, my current E60 is close to a perfect car for me.

There's nothing that I dislike about it.

For sure some more/other OEM extras would make it even better.

The looks drew me in, but the whole package keeps me coming back. I really like the Logic7 sound system. It's by far the best OEM system I've ever heard. We currently have the plain old seats, but added the multi-contour seats to the car we just ordered. I wonder if they make a version of them for the living room?

My wife really likes the PDC and heated steering wheel. I have issues with the heated steering wheel as I feel it's akin to sitting on a warm toilet seat.
