Overall I'm very happy I decided to get an E70. I'm 100% certain I will be head over heels happy once I get new wheels.

Here's my One Month Review...
  • I cannot stand that I can only change the radio presets with my right hand. If there are two ways to change them, why are they both on the right side?!
  • I swear the side mirrors have a double-vision appearance.
  • I love iDrive.
  • Why in the hell are the death stickers permanent on the sun visors?!
  • I don't like how the fog light comes on with the turn signal.
  • Why are the inner AE rings brighter than the outer? P.S. I WANT the 2011 white AE's! Can I switch them?!
  • I love the folding mirrors... when I remember to push the button. lol
  • I have to basically punch the fuel door several times to get it to open. (Going to dealer on Monday to fix.)
  • The sunroof won't open all the way. No matter how many times I press the button. Today it got stuck open in the tilt position. (Going to dealer on Monday to fix.)
  • The 2-1 downshift is very rough. It throws me forward as if I hit the brakes. (Going to dealer on Monday to fix.)

I'm convinced these things are designed to fall apart once they turn three years old.
You only noticed the death stickers? How about how HORRIBLY cheap the visor looks??!! Way to cut costs BMW!

I dislike the fog lamps as well (they also turn on when you are in reverse) because it always looks like 1 is burnt out

I love how the inner halo is brighter I think it looks great

The shifting issue is known on the E70's. The software was updated on mine and it's still rough on hills
