My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
But at over 100 km/h it's not a problem anymore.
The new engine seems to need some 1700 rpm to behave.
The LCI E60 needed only some 1400 rpm.
There's a lot of "80" roads around here, which makes the above a really big problem for me.
BMW negotiations will (once again) start in September...

Cruising at around 85 km/h (70-90) the engine croaks, at 8th gear.

Hey Ric!
I've been away for a while
Congratulations to your new car! It looks stunning
My car is born now and should be here within the next couple of weeks. Looooong wait.

The chrome inlays comes with option 322-Comfort Access and apparently also with option 4UR-Ambient Light.

Is this something they will be able to sort via a software update? Sounds to me like there is more emphasis on getting into a low gear for fuel economy reasons, but its just not practical on the road, as Ric points out above.
To finish on a postive note, the car looks great!

Nope, besides the tail pipes on the 535i and the 550i (which are different than on the other engine models) and the sound from the diesel or petrol engine, they all look the same.
The chrome inlays comes with option 322-Comfort Access and apparently also with option 4UR-Ambient Light.
