My Ride: On order: 2007 550i, silver gray, black leather, anth. maple trim, active cruise, heated steering wheel, sport, night vision, vent seats, heat rears, active steering, rear air bags, folding seats, comfort access, navigation , HUD, black head liner, steptronic, premium sound, sirius and HD radio.
I feel like I am in a psych ward with a bunch of whiny toddlers. blah blah blah. Just be happy you can afford and enjoy one of the best cars in the world. 
I have had my fair share of issues. I am just happy I finally found a dealer that was willing to work with me to fix them. I don't care what BMW says to their customers. It all comes down to the dealer and how they treat you. Find a good one and most of the issues somehow seem less bothersome. IMO

CDV--at least that's fixed.
CD player doesn't always start where it left off.
Occasional window rattles.? JJ.

If I pay over $60k for a car and it needs more repairs than a Kia, I can be a whiny toddler...

Definitely the windscreen wipers. They are the wrong way around on right hand drive models.
That, and the fact that I have to push the button on the dash to unlock the boot after I opened the drivers' door.

Things hopefully will look better in a couple years.
