1. Hate runflat tires makes the ride quality aweful.
2. dash looks outdated comparied to the E90 3-series. Climate controls should be Digital displays.
3. leather to hard, needs to be softer ALA E39 5 series models.

As pa550 described, once you get used to canceling the turn signals in the same direction as they're indicating, you'll have no problems accidentally activating them in the opposite direction. Give it some time and practice and before you know it, you'll have to find something else to "hate" about the car...
You can disable triple turn signal activation in the settings menu...

-2002 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. Seal Gray with Black Int. & Top: Tiptronic, Heated Seats, Bose Sound.
I have had my 545 for 4 days and I love it.
The only compaints I have are:
-No where to put anything on the center consol (phone etc...)
-Side view mirrors are too small
-some noise comming from the pasanger door. sounds like the window it loose or something.
This car is amazing through.

My Ride: 2005 545i (SMG)
Titanium Gray
Black Interior, Anthracite Trim
M-tech kit
Sport Package
Premium Sound
Satellite Radio
Active Cruise
Comfort Seats
Navigation
Folding rear seats
Logic 7 stereo isn't good enough :thumbsdown:
Runflats were horrible, but I replaced them with Michelin PS2
Other than that..... the only thing I hate is the fact I love driving it so much, that I am putting too many miles on it.

One feature that bothers me is the fact that the car cannot be programmed to unlock the doors when shifted into park. You can program it to lock the doors above a certain speed but cannot (at least I haven't been able to) program it to unlock when parked. You have to pull the door handle twice to open the door.
Not a big deal, but I would like to have the option.

I set it via the i-drive
Not like my last 2 Audis which had to be set by the dealer :thumbsdown:

As they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." After having said that, I could not stand the stock front bumper and it's frown. The M-Tech Aero kit alleviated that.

Yeah, that's why you're getting the M5 bumper instead. Good luck finding the side fenders.

1. Seats. In whatever seats i sat on, i couldn't find my desired latteral grip. Not even in the M seats in the M5. Sport seats in my E60 are a massive dissapointment. I wonder what do they find sporty in it?!
2. Lack of LSD. I know this is weird but i really feel the need for it. With so much torque and so often dsc going off, i hate spinning the back inner wheel like there's no end.
3. RF tires aka Junk tires.
