Every time I need to get out of the car when it is running I get caught between the steering wheel and seat. Why couldn't they have just made the steering wheel go up/retract when you put the car in park or open the door? Seems like such an obvious thing... Having the seat go back automatically at the same time would be nice too.
Also, the HUD could be put to better use... Having the present gear selection (e.g. D, DS, M*) shown in the HUD would be awesome!
The ability to turn off active steering would be nice too.
What else is missing?

Mine does that, in the same time as it loosens up the seat's side bolsters.

The HUD displays gear if you have an M5.

The steering wheel DOES go up for easy of entry and exit.

the steering wheel will only go up when it is tilted down. if it is already tilted up because that's how you like it, then it won't go up anymore when you take the key out.
