I might be able to spell, but counting is a problem
there are 3 types of people in this world....those who can count and those who cant.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I could lose the blinker fluid switch.

My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats
ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.
Things i definitely want to keep:
Cruise control (yes, i use it, daily, just set it to 155kph and off you go)
Automatic wipers when they do a good job (80% of the time, they work perfectly)
ProNav (the "second" display is definitely a big plus!)
Adaptive Xenon Headlight
Pro A/C
PDC with display
Things i could lose:
The irritating light washers (i have daytime running light, so they always go off, unfortunately they are MANDATORY here in Holland if you have Xenon).
Automatic wipers when they are just not working (sitting there when it rains, wiping as hell when it's dry)
Built-in Motorola phone (which is just a big pain in the *ss)
The iDrive TMC system, which just KEEPS nagging you that there is traffic ahead... (I KNOW THAT!)

cant believe alot of you don't use cruise control, id go mad without cruise, especially on motorways, just set it to around 90 and sit back and relax, i think id speed alot more without cruise aswel. I hardly use heated seats. but if i could use anything it would be the phone cradle in the armrest, i have an iphone which doesn't fit so its useless. wouldn't mind losing the swirl flaps either its been worrying me lately after reading all the posts on here.

I got so used to HUD that when I drive any other car, I struggle to keep up looking at the speedometer.
HUD!!! MUST HAVE - Just love it.....
On the other hand, I don't think I want to loose anything. More the merrier.
