My Ride: 535d Auto M Sport delivered 04/10/05, Carbon Black, Beige Ventilated Nasca Leather, Dark Poplar Wood, Media Pack - Sat Nav Pro, Bmw Assist, Bluetooth phone prep + telematics + snap in adapter for Nokia 6230i & 6 CD, Visibility Pack - bi-xenons, adaptive headlights and Headlight Wash, HUD, High Gloss Shadow Line, Extended Lights, HiFi System, Extended Voice, M Spoiler and Heated/ventilated f/seats. Chrome Grills. M Double Spoke 19" Mixed Wheels 172 with 245/35 front and 275/30 rear (Non-runflat continentals) Spare wheel and jack. Supaglass.
Quite disappointing - I was screaming at him telling him how to turn the Sat Nav lady's voice off and how to work the indicators. And I don't know how he can say that it's ugly !?!?

The only way to get the Sat. Nav. voice was to set a destination. Idiot then used next station instead of plus or minus volumn. Rumoured he is going to an M5 after the debacle of his Ford (money refunded and a promise not to speak about it again).

What a prize tw*t Clarkson is. As we all know the E60 whether it be a 520i or 545i is a great car all round, I drive included. So he takes the top model and rubbish's the basic controls, which we all know are dead easy to operate. He then raves about the drivability of the ugly M5, in his opinion. Anyone who adjusts the volume with the tuning control should'nt be at the wheel of a 507 hp car.
