Most of what I'd want is already in the list.

Better integrated cup holders.

Integrated sunglass holders.

Better bass response.

DVD-Audio and SACD.

AWD option in all models not just lower two.

Temperature guage.

(Not sure if this feature is already available)--integrated 2 inch tow hitch (for bike and ski accessories)

Better control over wiper blade speed in the automatic mode

Included auxilary input for ipod (if not even more integration).

In dash DVD/CD player changer etc. (no magazine in glove compartment).

But I will add I really like this car as is.

Other than the usual better fuel efficient engines, better transmission, etc.., :

1. Customizable Idrive (does not mean hacking into it, but should be able to select what functions I want to see and where, skins ).
2. Customizable HUD (height adjust, color, content)
3. Satellite based Nav system (get rid of the DVD slot) with real time traffic update and re-routing. I know 3-D images are coming in the near future.
4. Fully customizable steering wheel button (not the two buttons you can now)
5. Power adjust rear view mirror (not just side view mirrors).

and a lot of the options other have already mentioned.

Just thought of a few other things:

digital radio
Variable ambient light colours (to suit interior / mood)

To protect the beauty again minor attacks : re-usable airbags on the outside to avoid scratches

I never like it when one parks to close to my car, and don't like at all the places where the width of a parking space is designed around a 1960's mini !
