My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
When I wash my car down, during the drying (leathering) off process I always find the water that collects in the small dips in the headlights a right pain in the a*se to remove.
Does this bother anyone else?
Do you have any other small niggles with the car?

OOoo yea I hate that too! If you let it dry, it will make a nice huge water spot. Shows up like a mofo on black.
I wish the A/C would stay OFF at startup when I turn it off during shutdown.'
iDrive is too sluggish sometimes.
Having to click accept everytime I start the car to access iDrive menus.
No MP3 on my Pro NAV.
Soft click noise when turning a hair to the left.
Small annoyances but I still love the car!!

If you don't drain the water from the spot mentioned, it will dry and leaves lots of crap behind. I always have to be mindful of this because the waterspot etches the paint. Shows up real nice on black.

I know what you are talking about!
I've the water issue to! I've not seen it as something I really hate, but now when you said it - I must admit I have that problem to! There is a big spot there right now, because I didn't have time to dry the car, after my wash 2 days ago.. Just took it out for a fast ride - and it was dry when I got home!
gotta wash it again!

My Ride: Collected Sept 2009 - BMW E90 M3, Silverstone II, Novillo Black leather, 19" M Double-Spoke alloys, High Beam Assist, Electronic Damper Control, Voice Control, PDC, USB, DAB, High Gloss Shadowline, Sliding armrest, Trim Finishing in aluminium grey.
- A/C doesn't obey the last command (like stay off when it should).
- No seat belt height adjustment.
- Wipers arced for LHD (on RHD cars).
- Lack of cubby hole space for coins etc.
- Those cheap frikin cup holders in front.
- When a permanent warning displays on the dash info panel, you loose the time in the idrive screen as well.
- Ride on run-flat tyres
- Intermittent rattle in drivers door.
I'm sure I'll think of more later.
- Not having an internal boot release/opening button a la E46
