... tyres, they're as stable as Katie Price, but lack of a spare means I'm stuck with them. The iDrive system takes some getting used to, it's easier to open a safe at your local Nationwide than to put in a radio station. The most recent 5-series (F10) has ironed out the annoying aspects of iDrive. The car will warn you of any fault (especially with these damn run-flats), and you'll get used to the car's dimensions (surprised I didn't need a bus licence what with its huge size).
