Right for navigation -- your passenger/copilot is the navigator Left -- you for climate control. In addition, a great deal of the functions are triggered by voice commands. Finding a nearby restaurant or gas station is a bit cumbersome to figure out though.

We just bought a 3 series for my wife. I have trouble getting into it since I am over 6 feet tall and have a bit of a back problem. I really like how it drives though and am wondering if the 528xi will provide enough increase in vehicle size to accommodate my needs? Also, what is the consensus on the 528xi versus the competition? Thanks, |

I have a 2006 530i w/o sports package. I got 30000 miles on original tires - Goodyear Eagle RS-A (not run-flat). I like the tires OK but would like some thoughts on other tires. I'm a fairly conservative driver and don't have to have the most expensive tire. Thoughts on bang for buck, good solid tires? Thanks

Replying to: cecilt1 (Oct 26, 2008 4:06 pm) I find the i-drive to be no big deal. It's quite intuitive to use, though pretty tedious. Other systems like the audi are better, but I would not base a car-buying decision on i-drive. I do not have nav, so i-drive may be worse with nav. |

I recently got a price from Rallye BMW in Long Island, NY: 2009 BMW 535i xDrive Premium Cold Weather Sport Comfort Access Heated Rear Seats Navigation High Beam Assistant Lane Departure Warning Park Distance Control Rear Airbags Buy for $58,755 I thought this was an okay price, but with this recessionary era upon us, and hearing that auto sales are the WORST they've been in years, coupled with the fact that MB is offering $6K cash incentive on their E series, I believe in the coming months, I can get a better price. What does the community think? Should I be plucking that much money down on a car during these recessionary times? Wait for a better offer?

Replying to: juniorbmw (Nov 05, 2008 7:10 am) I strongly agree. I'm not currently in the market for a new car, but if I were, I'd wait until after Christmas. By then, the market for luxury cars will be the softest that we've seen in years, & buyers with money in the bank or A+ credit will write their own tickets. Assuming that you live in Nassau or western Suffolk counties, you should also shop Habberstad (in Huntington), Oyster Bay & Competition (in Smithtown). Take advantage of your proximity to 4 dealerships within easy driving distance of one another.
