I agree that BMW should put the engine temperature gauge back in the next 5er. I like to know when the car has warmed up to operating temperature. I'd like to see what the engine temperature is before there's a problem with overheating and not have to rely on an idiot light.
I find the E69 a little lacking in what I'd call "luxury car presence" when compared to its predecessor. To be honest, when I see other E60s on the road, some of them look rather plain, especially from the front, and just don't have the kind of panache I've come to expect of BMWs. I guess it mostly has to do with the current styling, which I like for the most part.
I'd like to see more storage for the front seat passengers and more agressive seats for the sports package. In my opinion, the sports seats in the new 3er fit like a glove and are far superior to those in the E60. Who knows? Maybe BMW figures that people who buy the E60s have wider behinds than those who go for the E90.
