1) Trunk difficult to close without touching the outer side/paint (using inner handles either too strong close or not strong enough to close)
2) Hard to see signal turn indicators blinking - steering wheel blocking the view
3) Cold on the rear seats, passengers freezing, not able to direct hot air to the rear area with automatic mode on
4) PDC a little louder than comfortable
5) Can't have high-output angel eyes (stock - daytime running lamps) on with eyebrows on at the same time
6) Professional navigation doesn't support entering spots in between the route (go from A to D through B and C

Anything you'd add to the list?

1. Trunk opens way to fast.
2. Car takes awhile to warm up.

That's it .

Weakly designed. Does not feel strong like the E39. Hell my E46 seems stronger built. Strange attraction to mice....or so my ear tells me.

E46 and E39 are the best BMWs ever built.

I hate the center console storage.
Other than that it's the best car I've ever owned!
