What is your favorite thing about your E60?

For me, I love the 6-speed manual! It is an awesome gear box, and a blast to drive. My girlfriend loves the smell of the leather interior when you first get in...

...And, I think one of the best things about the E60 is all the mods available for it, and the community support online.. I had no idea what all was possible with these cars!

So, whether you are in a 525 or ///M5, what do you about your E60?

I love the handling. Hands down, my 04 545i is the best damn thing I've ever driven (except for an e90 M3 and a e60 M5 that I got the chance to test drive).

Beyond that, I love the smell of the leather. I loce the sound of my after market exhaust. I love the great service I get at my local dealer (Erhard BMW).

I also love the fact that there is such a strong community of enthusiasts I can tap into for knowledge and advice at any time.

I'm a BMW driver for life!

I like the sharp appearance when I walk up to it. It just looks great from any angle. I was at Denver Auto Show last week and they had the F10. Have to say the exterior didn't impress.

The fade on exterior lights with Orions and unfolding M5 mirrors on unlock. It makes me feel like the car is welcoming me, now I know what LCI owners feel like.

The rock solid road feel, the aggressive stance and taking a curved exit ramp at 65 mph!
