It's simply my work car. I get to decide in a certain price range and they provide the car for me. They pay for everything except for fuel. After two years they stop paying the lease because they want a decent resale. SO I hand the car back, get a new one. If I wanted to keep the 530i I would have to pay out the residual value. Which would be around 65k. I think I'll just upgrade and stick with the free option for now

We have technician that work everything for us. We can't really touch anything because of the sterile environment. It has 12 instruction logs I believe. All the compuer controls are touch sceen and very easy to use. The navitron system isn't new, this is just an extremely advanced verision of it. I don't touch the machine, I just use a probe to see my position on a screen. Similar to a GPS system in a car, except it's for inside the head
That is similar to how ours looks although certain details are different. Our operating microscope looks heaps better then that one for example. Plus we have built in chairs so we can sit during the tedious parts of the operation. It does create a very futuristic environment which is has "freaked out" a few patients so to speak. Huge improvement to work with but for me.
