Its just totally inop, the whole cluster is dead,
Lol on a funny note, when the computer linked up to check the mieage at the dealership it said 10,264,513 miles haha. I told my sa I should get something for my achievement. 10 mil miles in 4 years haha.
Just dropped it off today crossing my fingers that its not too serious.

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?)

sounds like you need to
1) drive during the day or only in well lit areas
2) whilst wearing gloves
3) not driving too slow or only on straight roads (just ask your dealer for the "Roman" NAV DVD update)
4) and rev that beast (see also item 3 above)
I hope that helps you get through these difficult times

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

hoping its not a big issue dont u have runflat tires i though bmw factory installed runflats to avoid a need for a spare.

no runflats on the m5... and no spare. although you get free towing for life to the nearest bmw dealer so they can rape u on the repair bill. sounds fair right? lol

I love this thread.
To the OP, I've got a 2009 550i Sport with all of the creature comforts that you seem to be lacking. If you ever want to enjoy them, I am sure we could swap cars for a week and I'll rough it in your M5. What the hell, I'm even local.
Just trying to lend a helping hand to one of the E60 brotherhood....
