I think you will just "learn to live" with these BMW, E70, quirks. As long as you don't get the infamous "bing" chime while driving, and loads of battery drainage messages, malufunction lamps, etc, etc...I think you will love your new E70. Btw, your Avatar is showing an old E53, and your signature isn't showing your new Xer. Tell us what model, colour combo, packages and stand alone options. I know it's hard to let go of the E53, but time to update your User Cp with your new E70! Congrats on the new BMW!!
