What you don't like on your E60

I reported this to the Service folks and they "said" they measured the distance of the bottom of the wheel to the floor on an existing 535 with sport and it was the same. What I can't understand is why the sport package requires decreasing the travel that every other vehicle currently has? In my current 528i, I swear the wheel can move 5-6 inches up and down, and the 535 with sport moved MAYBE 3 inches total vertical travel..Would love to understand why this is necessary with the sport package.

I see this in my tach but it is always showing three-stripes (bars). I commute ~45 minutes one-way and I see the same three-stripes from when I first start the car in the morning until I arrive at work. Maybe my tach is broken?! But, I have never seen any more or less than three bars regardless of length of drive or style of driving.

Our cars can be coded so you can close the sun roof (it already opens with the key) via the key.
I had known about holding the unlock and the lock button, but I didn't realize you can actually physically stick the key in the door and make it do the same thing (learned from a member this Saturday). Though doing it wirelessly is more convenient, lol.

Current annoyance:
As I was completing my weekly parking lot pimpin session, I realized that if I do pull a hot piece they would have to sit in the back based on my passenger side airbag restraint fault....
aside from that I love my car

I don't like the fact that double pumping to open the drivers door does not unlock the other doors. By the time I go to the other side to open the door for my daughter, my key is already in my pocket. Not like I can ask her to unlock or double pump the door handle. Leaving the doors unlock is not a option either as I don't want my daughter to accidentally open the door. When I open the driver's door on my Mercedes the other doors unlock too. This feature can be programed in the Mercedes, it cannot in the BMW. Having such a nice feature like this on the Mercedes makes you want more in the BMW. You don't realize how wonderful this feature is until you have a child or have to open another door after getting out..
