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?)

You had to buy a full option.
I have heating steering wheel and the ipod kit.
But the steering is maybe heavy due the POWER
ddduuuhhhh
They have put an engine inside ( as they forgotten with the 525 - 530 ) and the car weighs 1900 kg.
