My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
I love my car, so I don't care about those small annoyances, like the cupholders and all...
John, what did you mean when you said you can get touch screens?

Cheap cupholders are an offense in a car of this price, lack of storage and compartments is amazing to me (Mercedes has it all over BMW in this category), position of the glove compartment - have you tried to open it while sitting in the driver's seat? - it's nothing short of gymnastics - inferior stereo quality overall and lack of immediate responsiveness on take-off.
Likes include the space, the quality finish and look, the I-drive (I know, I know, but once you learn it, it IS convenient), the smooth and tight ride, the responsiveness after you get going, and the handling, the surprisingly good gas mileage for a car of this size, averaging about 27 mpg. Best of all, two things - looking forward to starting it up in the morning and looking back at it after I get out and lock it.

Love:
Active Steering
Dynamic Drive
Logic 7
IDRIVE has nice outlay
Style
Size
Easily accessable mods and not too expensive
LCI heads and tails
Hate:
The navigation gives me clouds during daytime and nighttime. I DEMAND stars and moon at night!
IDRIVE is too slow
After adding Dension, Dension resets a lot
No panoramic roof
LCI heads and tails arent easily changable

I HATE the lousy jerking transmission in my car. Have an appointment with the regional tech next week, hope that he can get this taken care of. Gas peddle response sucks big time, and i know (glad) that there is the spintbooster.
