To me it is akin to the active sound in my car. List it as an option so I can opt out. Why would anyone want engine sound emanating from behind them? The engine is up front!

The only new button is the one for heating the steering wheel, and it's a good thing they moved it from hinding behind the wheel.

1- New engines are cutting on displacement as the emission regulations get tougher. So almost all of the new cars have turbo engines in order to make up for the lost displacement. And Turbo's don't generate great noise as their atmospheric counterparts. 2- New models have extremely good sound insulation, and that also prevents you from hearing the engine noise in the cabin.

They sticking to the hard core drivers choice, from many journalist the likes of Tiff Needell, flat steering are the worst for track days when you going sideways for example!
But with you on this the majority of us will never take a 5 series to a track, it should be an option, I am quite tall and with the seating going as low as they do in BM's which I like a lot, a flat bottom steering wheel will do nicely, plus looks nicer too. |

Does the screen placement present a bit of an awkward aesthetic? Yes, but it is for a good reason - to keep the driver's line of site more upright when glancing over at it. And it's better than the last generation "hobbit house" shaped dashboard. Other manufacturers put the screen lower in the center stack, but this is arguably less safe. Form follows function. |

Sure it's a bad thing.. Or do you want all the BMW models to look the same as one model so you will have no clue which model it is when it passed by, because they all are similar to each other.
I don't want that and i think most of the customers don't want that either. I want to see each model to be absolutely different from the other and for it to have it's own, individual character, but unfortunately the further we get the more similar models we see... ((( |

The bottom silver part is plastic and it feels really cheap. Not to mention all the squeaky sounds it makes when you touch it. Do they have a service bulletin to fix something like that?
