What's the one thing you couldn't live without?
Having recently had to drive a lesser spec car. It got me thinking about the little toys/options you couldn't live without. I know it is highly unlikely the E60 M5 will not have a complete range of toys as standard or as optional extras. But what is the one thing you couldn't live without on your car? Mine probably has to be either cruise control or rain senisitive wipers. If you drive a car without such luxuries you tend to up wishing you had them.

Re: What's the one thing you couldn't live without?
Air

After that, its definately the rain sensing wipers


Actually, I like all the goodies- except for cruise control, which I have never used in the past decade and do not plan to start using now.

Jerry,

How come you don't like cruise control?

1) Six Speed Manual Gearbox
2) A/C (for my daily driver)

Jerry...you're telling me my M5 has cruise control? Where is it? How do I use it? Is there some cheat or trick to get to that option

Air conditioning that is one I forgot. But mind you living in England that only becomes useful for three weeks of the year!
