Oh, but the front cupholders are now American-sized! And there's two of them, and they come standard!

Thus is the price of progress, er-- making BMWs more mainstream. The electronic shifter seems cool but the lack of resistance when pushing it feels artificial. The old-fashioned kind actually felt like you were changing gears and required a nice tug to go between gears.

Btw, hope you were all okay after the previous collision. I guess you're still here, so the E53 must have done something right there.
