318Touring 40 Report post Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) For those who've been following the thread E65 vs E60 here're the pictures of the car: Features: Active Steering Dynamic Drive Emergency Wheel 18 inch Run flat Wood trim PDC rear + front Xenon Adaptive headlights Cruise Control Auto light Rain sensor iDrive Pictures Cons (so far): A pillar gets in the way when I'm trying to see my 1 o'clock Which one of those German engineer suggested moving the stratification control to iDrive was a good design move. Usually you move the knuckle as in the highlighted area to get the air to be warmer or colder without changing the climate control: Now I have to get through 3 steps to get to the scren shown in the blog.

zenetti 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 nice ride!! how do you find the run flats? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
318Touring 40 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Thank you for the kind-hearted comments!! Surprisingly the run-flat on the E60 feels much better than in the 1 or 3 series (loaner). Remember though that my car has Dynamic Drive. In conclusion, if running run-flat you'd want to make sure that your car has dynamic drive. I personally will be happier with the old fashioned tyres (more due to they're much cheaper!!!!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 the heating ventilation and radio??? on the I drive would be a pain...I spose once you are used to it becomes second nature but seems counter intuitive to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
318Touring 40 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 the heating ventilation and radio??? on the I drive would be a pain...I spose once you are used to it becomes second nature but seems counter intuitive to me. Yep, however I just learned that the software caches places one level down from the main menu. Meaning if I have just been on radio (on Entertainment) then go to OBC to see my fuel consumption, I can go straight back to radio again by moving the iDrive knob down for 2 seconds without having to press the 'Menu' button then select Entertainment.
