I think it is good as it is. How lazy can one be?

I do not like full auto, but as an programming option on the
iDrive could be the solution to meet anyones standards...

I love to drive my car, I wouldn't like the car to drive for me

But I'm lazy enoungh to love autotrans

If it hasn't rained for a while, it's always a good idea to use wash-wipe first to get rid of all the oil & grime and to keep your wiper blades in good condition. So I like it as it is.
