Maybe a couple of things I would like improved in my HUD program. I would like the Tach and gear selection added to the options menu. I am frequently trying to make one more shift after I am in 6th.

Does this bother anyone else?
Do you have any other small niggles with the car?

Try using a leaf blower to dry your car. I use it to get 90% of the water off my car. It's great for cracks and crevices. It also works wonders on the side view mirrors which would otherwise leak all over the car as you drove away! It really helps to have a couple of good coats of polish on the car to making blowing it off easier. It only takes me 1 towel to dry the car with this method. Another bonus is in the cold weather your hands don't get as cold!

I sometimes take mine for a quick drive to dry the wheels but trouble with that the brake dust from the inside tends to run out and you only end up wiping them afterall.

Oops, I thought of one more. With the comfort seats, the passenger front seat is supposed to have a memory setting, but it doesn't seem to do as good a job remembering the exact setting as does my driver side memory. Not a biggie, but a tish annoying.

A couple of niggling gripes from me:
1. Having to remove the ignition key in order to open the tailgate (Not just a BMW issue) is darned annoying as frequently I want to open the tailgate while the engine is running - particularly when handing the car to a valet, or when leaving someone at the airport drop-off.
2. Not having an audible confirmation of lock/unlock - OK, I can set the indicators to flash, but that means I have to keep the vehicle in sight as I walk away.
3. Having the HUD display the indicator flasher (seeing as I can't see it past the steering wheel) would be a cool addition.
Generally, if I ignore the outrageously high fuel consumption then I'm deleriously happy.
Other comments on this thread are:
To those who need either a leaf blower or a Q-tip when cleaning the car - you really ought to try and get out more...
If you're worried about the trans-atlantic tire/tyre issue then you sure as hell don't want to be eating faggots for dinner...
Ho Hum.

Im going to have to say brake dust is the biggest gripe.
Also i find that the car has a little hesitation when accelerating from a stand still.

Ok, I've got one. There is no auto-unlock feature. Auto-lock is great, but when the car is put in park or turned off or key removed, how about auto-unlock?
