I just realized I have been enjoying my car for a week and have yet to begin to talk to it.
Does anyone actually USE the voice commands on a regular basis?

I tried Dial Number a few times, but could not get it to get the digits right- maybe my accent being in the South

Got exactly 300 miles on the first tank of petrol in the city coming in at 17.x mpg for amount of fuel used. Considering traffic and how I have been driving I guess that is OK, but hopefully will improve. Still much better than my '03 ML500 (12 or so in city) and about the same as my'00 540i6.

In the past week I have installed 20% tint on the side and back windows, installed rear bumper reflectors, have two of the three parts for the armrest razr install, and have the BMW Base Support system (not installed). I need to find a way to mount my Thule box to it for a trip in 4 weeks.

Navigation and HUD are brilliant together, money well spent.
Comfort seats are wonderful as well as the Sport steering wheel.

That is about it, so far the car is perfect.
Straight line performance is not it's strong suit but once the road gets interesting the 530 sport is in its natural habitat.
Not saying that is is pokey. BMW claims 6.4 0-60 which is probably more like 6.2 or so under perfect conditions.
I do not know of another sedan this size (with large trunk) that is as sporty and rated 20/30 - it is an amazing package in those respects.

Still driving on my German Zoll plates.
I have had one local police and one state-trooper directly behind me at stoplights in the past week and I just knew they would want to see my paperwork - no problem, they either were too busy or just did not care.
