All lovely, couple more observations......
The speed limit display is just a little too far over to the left - I have posted on a thread from March and understand this can be rectified using ISTA (whatever that is?)
However rather disapointingly my son pointed out the top of the iDrive button was peeling yesterday. It appears it's only stuck in place and I'm sure just a quick fix. I've already sent an email to the dealer making them aware
Other than that, it's lovely.
I like the way the dash is white during the day and red at night, my M5 was always white and personally I prefer red at night.
Ive also noticed the HUD changes colour at night and goes from white to orange which didn't happen on my F10, BMW are clearly constantly tweaking these things and it's an improvement.
Setting up BMW remote was a doddle and my iPhone talks to my car as it should.
The new iDrive will take some getting used to. The commands are all there (and much more), the quality of the maps and the processing speed are clearly much faster and better but it's knowing where to find thingsn the various sub menus. There are also now videos and all sorts of information available if you wish to delve into the system.
It appears on the 50d you can configure the sport button to adjust transmission and suspension or simply either. Is this also available on the 40d etc.? I can't find any information about it in the manual and whilst I can see what I'm doing, I don't know the fine detail which I'd like to - does anyone know?
There's also a new USB port under the heater controls which makes life's easier rather than digging around in the glove box.

After seeing our 40d on Friday and having a play around. We are able to configure the sport mode the same as you can.
Don't know if it is available on the other engines though. Just know that when having a look through all the menus it was something we could do.
Shame we can't bloody drive it lol
