My Ride: 04 530i
06 ///M5
lol, I cant complain but theres just a few little things i really miss about my e60 530 when driving the m5
1 Fog lights. loved my HID fogs
2 my m5 doesnt have a heated steering wheel my 530 did (so cold now)
3 active steering? is it just me or does the M require more input from the driver at slow speeds?
4 Ipod integration kit, have it on the 530 but not on the M need this asap the engine sounds amazing so its holding me over lol
anyone else feel like this sometimes?
should i get the dension gateway or factory ipod kit? i had the factory kit on the 530 and always wished it would have more features... (did i just answer my own question?)

lol sorry guys that wasn't the point of me posting this. the point is that EVERY e60 is special in its own way, and sometimes its just the little things about them that you make your standard comforts.
yes the m is a beast.
two more things to add to the list:
gas mileage as mentioned above (but this was well expected! so i didnt list it originally)
and lastly the no spare tire thing really bugs me sometimes I drove up from Florida last week and the whole time i was praying that nothing would happen cause i didnt want to stay over night waiting for a new tire
at least they cohabitate well.
although my instrument cluster went dead on the 530i the first time i started it after bringing the m5 home
hoping its not a big issue
