My Ride: 545iSMGSilver GrayAuburn Dakota LeatherLogic 7 Premium SoundSports Package
Cool? or Borrrrring?
I uploaded it to here...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4TJPV32I
Follow that link... the website might look scary but its ok trust me.
Then at the top right you'll see a countdown timer. Please wait ... You have to wait till thats over ~45 secs then there will be a link that pops up in the same spot, click that to download.
I would suggest right clicking and save target as...
I tried just directly uploading it to here but it didnt work... Its only about 2.5Megs...

My Ride: 335i Sedan
i think it's pretty cool, no problem about too many steps that most people are complaining about. it gets rid of over turning the keys when trying to start and no more key jams! or problems when releasing anti-lock brakes

You gotta be kiddin'...
When you insert the key in your E60, turn it all the way and once you reach the endposition LET IT GO!
Your car starts automatically. This is the comfort start feature, has allways been there and works just perfect!
So in fact, we all have a engine start button allready, but ours is ONE STEP LESS!
The start/stop engine button is ONLY GOOD WITH COMFORT ACCESS.

Yes all E60s should have it. Start Assist. Try it out.

[/quote]No theres a safety feature... SMG wont let you start the car other than in Neutral and with the foot on the brake... with a true manual you can only start it with the clutch depressed... I understand in Europe you dont have to step on the clutch is that still true?
