Thanks for all the nice comments guys, very pleased with the 640d, the more I look at it, the more I love the shape and the lines.

I don't think I'd like the car controlling my climate settings. I'd be overriding that all the time. I'll consider lightening the throttle from time to time, but I'm not giving up my A/C when it's 90 degrees.

We don't get the folding mirrors in the US. It seems kinda stupid as its a software feature, and it doesn't have to do with safety regulations. It mentions it in one of the quick guides that came with the car. Not really sure how they came to that decision.
Not a problem for us Brits! 10.4mpg, whether UK or US, is going some! That is M6 territory and with petrol/diesel being hideously expensive in the UK, I wouldn't want to be paying for your fuel!
