not sure if this has been added, but why is there no temperature gauge? I usually like to have the car warmed up before driving but without a gauge, I just let it sit for a few minutes before heading out.

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
Some people, if they won the freaking lottery today, they would bellyache because they didn't win it yesterday.
I like my E60, despite a few annoyances. And if I knew about all this "stupid" stuff ahead of time I still would have bought it.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

the invisible fog light switches - did someone think "ah yes the driver may be a bit stressed driving in thick fog suddenly and can not see very well - so we'll force them to look around the steering wheel to reloate fog light switches and make sure they have no tactile marking"
(well actually I agree about the cup holders - they're pretty silly)

Ah I forgot! in our car (which has no phone/bluetooth and hence the coms part of iDrive just had 2 phone numbers as reminders) - after reprogramming the phone numbers went blank.... so there is now a full Coms menu with nothing on it! amazing.
