Replying to: james27 (Oct 25, 2006 3:00 pm) The LDW system's a pain in local driving ... it can actually be startling and distracting (like those danged radio commercials that have sirens in the background). I've turned mine off because it will catch reflections off tar stripes and sound, and any traffic guidance painting on the road will be interpreted as a lane stripe triggering it off when it's not wanted. Insofar as snow is concerned, won't work OR will sound non-stop depending upon how well or poorly the road's been plowed. Bart

Replying to: blov8r (Nov 11, 2006 6:31 am) Bart, Thanks for the info. I think your right about being happier long term in the M (I feel I need a "driver's car"). I would certainly be upset when I do get the rare chance to throw things around on the back road twisties and the GS disapoints. I guess it's time for those test drives.

Replying to: gdatlanta (Nov 12, 2006 2:44 pm) Try the base car and compare it with the sport. The difference isn't huge but it's real to people like us. B

Replying to: poorprof (Oct 25, 2006 11:17 pm) FWIW, I have a 2006 M35X w/ Journey/Tech/Nav, and have found that I can live w/o the LDW for sure, and probably the ICC (but I seem to use it more than some here suggest they do). The radio is nice, but DVD-A's are out, and I don't watch movies in park.   Not sure in which package it's available for 2007, but the one thing I cannot do without is the rear-view camera. I could not imagine having a car without it, or the NAV.   S Replies to this message: blov8r (Nov 29, 2006 6:29 am)

Replying to: s54 (Nov 26, 2006 8:37 pm) I'm of the same mind here. I inactivated the LDW shortly after I got my M and haven't used it ... it was downright annoying. I do very little highway driving and do use the ICC a bit but not having it by no means would matter. I haven't upgraded my CD's so am not taking full advantage of the sound system .. again, no biggie. The rear-view camera is worth its weight in gold and the NAV is terrific. If I get another M when this lease is up all I'll really want is the base car w/ NAV and rear-view camera. I'll skip the Sport option --- catch a nail in a tire and it's $400. From what I've been reading about the 2007 G I just might get THAT! Bart
#40 of 103 1 year report on m35x by mechrad1 Jan 02, 2007 (9:19 am)
I have just passed the one year anniversary of my car purchase. Here are my opinions   Absolutely a great car. I have had no mechanical problems, only routine maintenance and one recall on the laser cruise control   Good points- fun to drive, great technology, keyless remote and trunk, stereo,   Bad points- no automatic windshield washers, lumbar support i find is not all that supportive, seat heaters are terrible-way to long to heat up. No other complaints, a great car Replies to this message: mechrad1 (Jan 02, 2007 9:20 am) stickyfeet (Feb 13, 2007 4:37 am) rxke (Feb 13, 2007 8:55 am) stickyfeet (Feb 13, 2007 9:50 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: mechrad1 (Jan 02, 2007 9:19 am) also the lane departure system is a big pain in the butt
#42 of 103 M vs. BMW 5-Series by buddybrad Jan 29, 2007 (8:28 pm)
I've always admired the M35 and M45, especially the interiors and have test driven a few. Now I'm driving a '03 BMW 540i Sport that I still like a lot and it has been relatively trouble free or at least what has gone wrong has been under warranty. With 67K on it I'm thinking about what's next.   Does anyone have some experience with these 2 cars and can offer some insight on what I would find different? I'm sure the M has a much fancier nav system. I'd like to think I'd be satisfied with the M35 for the cost savings, but maybe it's too different from the 540? A M45 is still at least $12K less than a new 550i.   Any thoughts? Replies to this message: pat (Jan 30, 2007 8:35 am)
