I also wish bmw let us control the drive settings individually like the audi did and the M cars let you do.

I can't believe how "doggy" the 650xi feels. My friends 550 is far more "spirited". It has to be the way they have tuned the trans. The car handles great and has a very very nice interior, and yet, I think the S6 is a better car - with the exception of that DSG. That thing drove me nuts in stop and go traffic. Oh and the MMI turns the wrong way. Oh and their $6,000 stereo has bass and treble settings only. Still, it is faster
