Hey Guys,
What do you think would make some good questions for the sites FAQ?
I've got the 3 basic questions down:
What does E60 stand for?
When was the E60 first produced?
What is the touring model?
I'm having trouble thinking of some more. Any ideas? Questions and answers would be nice too.

Lomag,
How about differences between US spec and European spec cars? Like the front reflectors(US amber vs. Clear Euro), and rear bumper reflectors, etc. I know it could get long with all the options, but just general info. Maybe the typical models in the respective areas?
Looks like tire sizes/wheel combinations might also be something to list.
General information on runflats.
Can't think of any more at the moment.

Lomag, the real question is how much you want to go in depth with it?
You could explain the abbreviatons (like ACC, AS, CBC, DTC, DSC, DD, Logic 7, HUD,.........) and explain how it works. But I think this is taking it too far...

I've got a gallery all created with the exterior color pics, interior combos and trims, wheels, engines, etc..
Im trying to make up a FAQ now, just basic stuff a potential newbie would ask. I'm not quite ready to show the site yet but its getting there. Just trying to fill in the blanks now.

Why doesn't my voice control work? I want to control climate, radio, etc.!
If I do have Nav, what is the list of all the voice commands I can use? What if I also have a phone?
Will my phone work in the E60?
Where can I find some movies or commercials to download featuring the E60?
How much over invoice should I expect to pay for my E60? What if I want delivery in Europe?
How come there is so much static on my radio?
How do I hardwire a Valentine 1 radar detector?
When can I get Sat. radio if I already have Nav? How much will it cost?
Can I get Nav after my car is delivered? How much will it cost?
Can I watch a movie in that slot marked DVD?
My car is new and my cupholder sticks? Do I need to go back to the dealer?
What are the break-in restrictions since I am too lazy to read the manual?
What products should I use to keep my car clean and beautiful?
I have the HUD. How come the display disappears if I'm wearing my sunglasses?
I hate the plastic piece in the back seat where the power sockets are? Can I get a wood piece to go there?
How come everything slides around in my trunk? Is there anything I can do about it?
Where are the best places on the internet where I can buy parts cheaper than my dealer?
Should I join the BMW Car Club of America?
Where on the internet can I find out more information about my new E60 and maybe talk to other people about it?
Why are most of the people at that Roadfly place so mean and nasty and the people at wisc.edu to nice and helpful?
