I love everything about my e60. That's why I bought it in the first place 
But I do have to say that I really love the HUD. Getting nav directions on the windshield is awesome!!! I hate hearing "nav-girl" talk so she's on mute all the time, so seeing directions at eye level is excellent. I'm keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that there's going to be an update so that other info can be displayed like rpm and current gear just like on the M-hud.

... I also don't have any icons/shortcuts on my computer desktop except for the recycle bin...
On topic: I can't think of anything I "love" about this car other than a small sense of pride in owning it.
correction
I love the light tubes eyebrows and angel eyes on my LCI!

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I love its "civilized lady" demeanor changing to a "screaming, naughty girl" demeanor when I put it through the paces.
She would be the "ideal" girlfriend/wife, if it were a person. All business on the outside, lace and leather on the inside.
Love it, love it, love it, and I only have the 2006, 525xI version. I just took delivery of it, last night, and today we did our first highway run together. Couldn't believe how steady and surefooted it felt at (cough, cough) "elevated" speeds.

I know I will take a few spears for this...but I like the iDrive 
Yep, I like it. I prefer a car without lots of buttons and stuff. and the iDrive takes care of it. I also don't have any icons/shortcuts on my computer desktop except for the recycle bin...

Yes, it could be better, but I think it is pretty damn good.

I love the simple fact that it is mine......
I grew up in a family that owned Bimmers and Mercs and this is my first one of my own.....
The fact that the car is the funniest to drive. I dont have an M5. But my 530 is fast enough for me. I can do 110 and even realize I am going that fast. I also love the xdrive. I know many people opt to get the rwd but I love the way the xi handles.
I am just proud to be apart of the in crowd........(E60 Board)
