When the E60 came out I was one of the people that didn't like the styling and heard the horror stories about the idrive. Time heals all wounds....or…. I admit that the car has grown on me and I really like the styling now. In fact enough that I just bought a 550 from Graham and Scott at BMWNS. The car is phenomenal and I'm really enjoying the idrive. I'm finding the car has two personalities, one as a luxury cruiser and the other is a car that likes to run hard through the corners. After owning an E30 325is, three E46's, one with the performance pkg, and a 528i I'm thinking this might be the best BMW I've owned. Time will tell but it sure has come out of the gate hard.
