Whenever I hear my friend pull away in his M5, I just say, wth? My car doesn't sound like that does it? And we're both stock. So its not the stock setup that is bad, its just the sound is deadened too much IMO.

In the winter months I sometimes run with the back seats folded down so I can hear the sweet notes from my Dinan exhaust

In combination with Chicago weather the car is really enjoyable only for 7-8 months out of the year

I'd say the only two things that could be improved are the ride height and the fuel mileage. I wouldn't want to trade performance for fuel economy though...after all its about smiles per gallon not miles per gallon.

I am so surprised that nobody seems to have the problem that passengers can't figure out how to move the seat.

I always assumed the problem was more with the passengers, and not the car.

Agreed, this is really annoying.

On a less important note, I've gotten used to stopping at every fifth gas station I see to put in 16 gallons or so......
