My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
The auto trunk close would be great to have. When you have your hands full of stuff (like coming from the mall) it would be great to just push a buttom on your key 
It is strange that the E60 doesn't have the auto-folding rear view mirrors feature
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I still like the gear shift between the seats.
Not only the 7-series has a shift stalk but also the new S- and ML-series Mercedes-Benz's got it.
The new S-series M-B has now also a iDrive!!!

The internal door trim lights are out of this world. Great ambience.
The E65 steering wheel is a little underfed though... so thin.

Auto trunk closer should be a must!
People always press on the trunk to close my trunk, leaving a hand print with scratches (Dusty trunk lid). I avoid this by pushing down from the license plate, which is alway dirty. Better to get my hands dirty than scratching my paint job.
I am talking about a fully automatic trunk closing system, not the one that you still have to manually close it to a certain distance.

I avoid getting dirty by using the internal pull grips - twist your hand upside-down - grip, pull down & pull out quickly - and the trunk closes w/out getting your hands dirty. (its the Quick Early pull out method - its not as efficient in other ways, but works great for this )

My Ride: 545i Sport Auto (see sig)
After loading up my trunk lid with like 15 pounds of Dynamat, I no longer have a problem with the trunk being too hard to close.
