How about adding the PDC function as a programmable operation that can be assigned to the steering wheel buttons.

The current button is hard to reach quickly, especially when pulling into a parking stall.

I need a BBQ in my trunk.
And a hot tub instead of back seats and a fridge instead of the passenger seat...

Iceman, maybe another request for you to forward at some time:

I think the Navigation workflow is a little clunky in this area:

I would like to see the route criteria come above the "new destination" action in the list. If I want to change my route criteria (normally between shortest/fastest), I always forget to do so and have to go back into the system after the route has been calculated.

Even if I didn't forget I would have to go past the destination section to change the route criteria, then go back up to select a destination.

To add to your list; I would like to be able to switch off ACC, so that it works as a regular CC. That shouldn't be too hard I recon..

That was number one on the first list and they were very interested in this input.
I got a couple calls from Munich - they ARE thinking about it very seriously !
It seemed like nobody in Munich was aware of the problem that the ACC can't be reduced to a regular CC by switchng the sensor off.

Iceman: Can you please give the mean of contact. Did forward your requests via email, online form, phone number, or was it by letters.
Please let me know I have issues as well.

No, I don't have pro-phone. I am using a borrowed Ericsson T68 which pairs OK, but doesn't transfer phone book etc. I'm waiting a couple more weeks before (in theory) BMW release a new list of phones that do work and a software update to make a range of other phones work too.

Apologies if this has already been raised. It might be useful if the "triple turn signal" feature could be extended slighty to allow adjustment between say 3 and 8 clicks.

IMO, three clicks aren't really enough for most lane change operations, unless you happen to be changing lanes on the autobahn at 140mph ;-).

For me it has only been too short once. But I noticed that I use it waaay more than ever before...
However, I'll add it.
