Compared to the sort of junk VW, Seat, Vauxhall etc like to palm off on the public an E60 is fashioned from the strongest granite in the world.

To be fair tho the E60 does cost a tad more than the aforementioned!

To be fair though allot of the features on the bmw have been around for a long time, Auto wipers Auto lights, Reverse sensors gps, Auto seat settings, auto steering wheel movement. we have all adapted to them and I wouldnt say we have lost how to turn them on manually when required

Nice car btw

Looks nice..... is that Deep Sea Blue or Le Mans Blue?

We were meant to pick up our new E61 M-Sport today, but the paperwork hasn't been sorted out

Re the Efficient Dynamics, AFAIK the turning engine off at lights bit is selectable in the iDrive settings somewhere. And although you say he's got a manual, a bit in the dashboard will tell you what gear to be in.

There was a button on the dash to turn off auto-stop-start on the E91 I had.

There was a manual in the 3 series I rented. I don't do manuals and even more so when I am on holiday preferring to moan instead.

Very nice that.

Have they started putting the fob thing in the right place again?

Not sure, I though it was Black at first!

I've not experienced the i-drive, but, by sister was moaning about the way it kept "cutting out in Traffic".......

According to the manual, it should tell you what gear is best for economy, his does not and I could not get it to! :confused:

Tbh, I only spent about an hour in the car and I was driving it for most of that time.

Edit - We think its Deep Sea Blue......
