I want to believe that our E39 will be just as durable as all of the E30's, E36's and other BMW's I see at Road ATL, Barber and Roebling Road. This car has been pampered as it is our first BMW and is still a very new car to us. It looks great (Sterling Grey, SP, PP, tinted windows etc.) when the wheels are clean so we would like for it to run as good as it looks.

#11084 of 12737 Question re: 2007 Model year?!?! by mikeroch

Jan 12, 2006 (11:42 am)

Hi,
 
My wife and I are almost signing the deal for a 530xi and are now being told by the dealer (we're in Canada) that the 2007 model year production run is going to start in March so that we could have an '07 by the end of April....i.e. that BMW is starting the new model year run now instead of in the fall. She is also saying that there won't be any changes from the '06....
 
Any comments?
 
Thanks.

#11085 of 12737 Voice activation? Comfort seats.. by mikeroch

Jan 13, 2006 (11:56 am)

This relates to an '06 530xi.....
 
Are any of the climate, radio, navigation functions able to be voice controlled by the driver (with iDrive)? (Or, is it only via the iDrive controller and/or using the steering wheel buttons...?). (With Bluetooth "prep" I assume the telephone functions are handsfree, but what about these other items?).
 
Also, anyone have pictures of the comfort seats in beige (with ventilation)? (preferable with the dark poplar high gloss wood, if possible.....thanks).
 
Thanks

#11088 of 12737 THE best!!! by zeamer

Since reading threads posted here helped me better informed, I felt obliged to do my share after becoming an owner myself.
 
I took delivery of a 2006 530i in January equipped with all the toys (heads-up display being my favorite along with the active steering). The fun and satisfaction are simply awesome. It really puzzles me WHY people still go with the DULL Mercedes, Lexus and the alike. My advice: Get a Beamer, and you will NOT regret.

Better study up.... There's a test tomorrow on all of those voice commands!

#11090 of 12737 525xi difficulties by housley

Jan 13, 2006 (4:01 pm)

I am on my 4th BMW. I had a 2002 540i, X3 and currently own a Z4 2.5 and most recently purchased a 2006 525xi. I love all of my cars except for this one. I have vibration that is intermittent at speeds from 40 up. The dealership has been working on balancing tires for the last 30 days. The car drives like a 2 year old Ford.
 
Anybody else having problems? Thanks.

My wife prefers driving her Lexus to driving my 530i. Different strokes for different folks!
