In the US, cars tend to be much better equipped ...
eg You have a better standard audio than EU but PDC is an optional extra whilst standard in UK...
So IMHO "tend to be much better equipped" needs some interpretation.

My Ride: F11 -14
As I understood the article about the F10/F11 that will be one of the "big improvements" - partly because it will run with FlexRay...?

IMHO: Some new and revised should be done
1-Manual control options for every feature./settings
2-Navigation -Touch screen, back up sensor & Camera - should turn AUTOMATIC in reverse driving, Navitek/Navigon( saw an awaesome post here)
TV/DVD while stationary, Large screen/split screen option, PC to navi address input feature, rear TVs/DVD option/ comp.option
3-Comfort access with exit feature(auto lock), car should lock/do not move once we move away few feet
Comfort warm-up Remote-Battery start to warm the car in winter(at present in Euro), remote check of car status
4-Blind spot info on navi/ HUD/Windshield, side bumpers-steel accessory
5-Start-Stop ignition On BMW metal in steering
6-Auto gear stick behind the steering(Right lower side) and more shelves/space slant platform merging with controls
7-ACC stop and Go with manual distance set/adjust by driver
8-UV 99% Glass with Solar heat rejection option (windshield, sides and back,Moonroof,side view mirrors)
9-More interior trims and leather color combos(gray, blue,Silver)
10-Palm features in I Drive(appointments, calender, Calculator)
11-Windows control buttons on inside doors shoul move to location as in previous models(At present legs touch )
12-All season tires STD and RFT always an option-Tire pressure display once goes down 10-20% of recommended.
13-Gasoline:Midgrade/Regular, Fuel door on Driver's side for US models,
Gasaoline indicator should stay per gas qty even with engine off(love this feature in my Honda-accord)
14-Manual control for heated windshield/wipers, side windows and back glass
15-Option:Engine should from V6/8 go to V3-4 when cruising/city driving(Future Honda)
16-Kidney grills option & back #s (528,535,550) (Silver, Gray, Black)
17-Panoramic Moonroof / ALL Glass roof option(Skyroof?)
18-More Quiet interior (AC, Tire noise, Wind, other cars/trucks from outside,)
19-Better mpg in city & Hwy as well
20-More options Bluetooth Telephones(we have limited cell phones that can be used now),
21-Back windows half down option with kids in back
22-Back seats should fold down & Leather seats should be STD.
23-Passenger side dash board improvements - should have a big srceen with dome. for work area/ Keyboard pullout/ USB drive /or somethog better.
24-Remote control of your car fetures/data thru your PC/Laptop (as our tel, dish tv,etc are controlled and fixed remotely), Dealer/ service dept. check of our vehicle with the password/code access.
25-Comfort Park and Exit: (360 degree view with image as in infiniti-new)in Parking spots, Parallel parking & in garage.

You really should go for a Jap/Korean car aqkhan6us.
But lucky for us BMW fans is, the that six cylinder engines are 3 litre six-in-lines, not shaky V6's.

Some ideas:
5. Have a choice in iDrive so that Headlights would automatically come on when the Automatic Wipers are working
