Mine works fine with the key off. Maybe its an LCI change.
Most annoying thing is the permanent split screen on the display. I don't need a NAV display everytime I drive. It would be nice to either switch to another function or make it go away completely.

You can change the display for the right side screen.

Perhaps there should be a list of alarms that you can select where you see them (centre screen, between the instruments, on the HUD, with/without a bong).
I would like a silent notification when the auto lights turn on and off.

1. No place to put cell phone.
2. Drink holders (doesn't fit my super sized coke, 40 ounce Big Gulp, or Riedel wine glass)
3. No place for spare change.
4. The Homelink garage door open only functions whenthe car is on, so you are starting your car with the garage door down.
Just my .02

2. Get normal sized drinks.
3. See number 1, minus the door pocket and passenger seat.
4. Open the garage before you get in the car.
Here's your change. $.01

Hey, I am just saying what appears to overlooked from my perspective.
I don't drink Big Gulps, but the holders don't fit most bottled waters or sport drinks. As far as the cell phone goes I don't like to have to dig for my cell phone, but I guess that is just personal preference. I do open my garage door before I start it and thinking more I guess it is a security thing anyway so no one can get into your garage if your car is parked outside.
L
PS- I am not a 60 year old man that carrys a piggy bank full of change in his pocket. Hey you have to remember we have the $1 & $2 coin up here in Canada, you need it for parking.

things that bother me a little bit about my e60s...
well if you turn off the car and you have the auto wipers and in motion they just kinda stop there in the middle of the front window... it would be nice if they would just return back to their resting position instead of looking all outta place
huge center console/armrest thing, but very limited storage space in there... i know you can use the door storage but having in plain view isn't always the best idea

My Ride: 2008 550i 10/12 Delivery Date - Deep Sea Blue Metallic: Black Nasca Leather, Ventilated Seats, Sport Pkg, SAT, Logic 7, HD Radio, SatNav, Power Rear Sunshades, Comfort Access, Active Steering, iPod/USB interface, and Bamboo Anthracite Trim.
Other ride: Lexus 95 LS400 193000 Miles and still going.
IMO I think the most stupid thing is to have that small door in the trunk on the left side of the car that leads to no where. This is for the LCI models as the previous models from what I heard have a compartment there. I understand that there's equipment in that spot that prevents having a compartment, but why not eliminate the door and make it a normal looking panel. Or give the LCI a compartment no matter what size it is, even it is only 1/2" in depth or 1/4" thick where only papers can fit in there. It would be nice to put that door to some kind of use. Anyone who has taken off the left trim in the trunk(LCI models) see if there is any room to put a custom sized compartment behind that door?

I thought it had more to do with Comfort Access. With CA, get in car push start. Without CA, get in car, insert key, push start. You can's turn a key if you haven't got a key to turn.
From what I understand, it has nothing to do with whether you can turn the key or not. The push button start requires a two step process which apparently makes it more difficult to hotwire. This is what I have been told.
