It only upsets me that BMW couldn't be bothered to set the wipers up for RHD on the E39....other than that....I'd love one.

That really annoyed me as well, until I drove one in the rain. Works fine. And all the water is pushed clear of your view so you don't get a build up on the edge of the screen.

I thought it would really bother me... but they work great!

The R8 looks pretty, but it's wrong wheel drive... suppose you could pop out the two front driveshafts and have a giggle!!!
