UK entry trim models have 2 front and 2 rear as standard.

The lame cupholders which shoot out empty water bottles like a canon!

I hate those blank plug things in back of the center console where the rear climate control knobs used to go.

I do love my ride and couldn't be happier with the LCI, but the outside mirrors are driving me mad at the moment -- they seem to be a magnet for dirt in this winter weather... half way through my 400km journey and I can no longer see out of them. Maybe this is the same with all mirrors. 
Thankfully I get caught in traffic jams and can lean out the window to give them a quick wipe!
Moan over!!

Exactly! Empty aluminum cans or empty coffee cups are shot out with equal zest.

The front cup holders are the worst. I would rather have a larger glove compartment, and eliminate the holders in the front, if that is the best design that BMW can come up with. The only thing the front cup holders are good for is to see peoples reaction when they press the button and see the tiny/flimsy cup holder pop out. It is usually good for a laugh...
Oh... and I also hate those black plug/knob things in back of the center console where the climate control knobs for the rear would go.
That being said, I love my car. I feel very fortunate to drive such a nice vehicle, and to be able to complain about minor things like cup holders!

Guess I'll go ahead and add a peeve of mine. I can't remember if anybody's mentioned it yet or not, but the absolute stupidest thing is that you can't do a search in the Nav system by phone number or simply by name!!! 
If you don't know the "category" of an establishment you're looking for, YOU'RE SCREWED! By the time you figure out the category, you could merely HAPPEN UPON the place as you're driving!
