Tone down some of the "active" or electronic/computerized items so that I don't have the fears in 6 months that I should get rid of a car with only 50k miles when the warranty runs out and something electrical goes out. Such as don't integrate all the radio, hvac, and other computer functions in one location. I want radio buttons on a radio, A/C dials or slides in the HVAC, and a trip computer separate. In case one of them goes out, the whole bleeping idrive system has to be replaced.
Also, allow dealerships to change their layout so that when you take the car in with a problem you don't have to go to an inside desk while the "valets" start moving your car. I don't know how much time I wasted with this car and our E34 going back and forth from the advisor's desk to the car that just got moved to point out where the noise or leak is coming from. I guess I'm just spoiled by the dealership that I take my truck to since my last name is the same as the owner's--unfortunately not related. And that's a Ford dealership in a small town about 15 minutes from my house as opposed to the only BMW dealership in about a 120 mile radius from my house. They know they got you when you go in there.

If you had a 530d or a 535d you might change your mind!
Another thing they need to do is to make the Dynamic Performance Control-system to the 5 series x-Drive
