Glad to hear you went with an open mind and took the time to enjoy the car. It seems that so many go test drive this car with their minds already made up that they won't like it, either because it is different or because of I-Drive. I have yet to have an real issue with the new I-Drive in the E60, and I really like the looks of the new car.

I came away really impressed with the car as well. So impressed that I put down the deposit on the M5 the same day. Comparing the E60 530 to the E39... drastic differences. I really liked the handling of the sport package, and while the reduced wind and road noise was nice, would have been nice to have a little more of the engine noise (but not as much as the E39 IMHO).
