Two Observations I thought I'd share and solicit feedback.

One, does anyone else find the 5 series harder to "place on the road", especially on narrow streets and tight parking situation? I previously had a 330e and I could thread that car though all manner of situations with confidence. My 530e is the largest car I've ever owned and after six months of ownership so far I still feel like I'm going to run into everything in the parking lot. Maybe I just like smaller cars....

Second, occasionally when at a stop while in (D) Drive or after shifting to (D) Drive, the car will start to roll backward while moving my foot from brake to accelerator. I don't think I ever experienced this in my 330e. Anyone else have this experience? Time for a dealer visit?
