I would ditch the rear sun blinds....total waste of time here in the UK

Love......the heated, comfort seats... they are just wonderful and they help cope with the RFT's

I actually ordered the 6-CD changer, but luckily I reconsidered, and managed to cancel the order.
- no need to pay for using precious space in the glove compartment, when you can put 200+ mp3-files on a CD...
Erm, actually the CD changer takes up no space in the glove compartment at all.

TV - a total waste of someone else's money. I'm not the first owner.

I have a question about TV fuction. Is it only available while stationary? So passengers cannot view TV on the move?

As standard it is only available stationary but there are lots of guys out there who will change the factory settings for you at a cost of circa ?300 so you can watch it on the move. The quality is OK, which is part of the answer to your question because the quality is based on the number of pixels on your screen but reception depends where you are and how good the signal is, it is passable but as a ?750 factory option or ?2500+ dealer fit, its an expensive mini TV.

I would ditch the sun shades, becasue I tinted my windows..I only use them if I want the total blacked out look and I would get rear heated seats, would be nice for rear passengers when it gets realy cold.

I would forego the keyless entry, although it becomes quite usefull when you are carring things. I should have got the logic 7 :'( , man I miss that in my X5.
