My Ride: 2008 535i / Black Sapphire / Premium / Navigation / Bluetooth / PDC / USB Audio Integration / 6 Speed Sport Automatic with Steptronic / Logic 7 / Comfort Access / Auto Folding Mirrors / Comfort Seats / Rear Heated Seats / 35% Tint All Around / Black Dakota Leather
1) Definitely re-designed cup holders that are easily accessible from the driver's side.
2) Sway bars should be standard (included) even on non-sport package to reduce body roll.
3) Active steering should be standard (included) as I feel that I have to turn the steering wheel quite a bit to make safe turns.
4) Heated side mirrors should be standard (included) with the premium package which comes with heated seats in Canada
5) Blind Spot Assist (and it should be standard).
6) Separate button for Alarm Panic mode. Right now the trunk release button in also used as the panic button. If you hold the button down for too long the siren sounds. Not long enough, trunk does not open.
That's it for now.

My Ride: 2007 530i. Purchased 6/28/07. Titanium Silver Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Dark Poplar Trim, Steptronic, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, Bluetooth, Adaptive Control Xenons. 10/30/07 Added OEM 124s with 245/40/18 & 275/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. Installed red Cal Covers� from BavAuto. 11/21/07 Added OEM all-weather floor mats (for winter, carpet in summer) and coat rack. 6/26/08 installed M5-style rear spoiler. 6/30/08 put on red reflectors. 8/22/08 Euro turn signal stickers applied. 3/20/09 Installed Shadowline Trim. 3/27/09 Added Matte Black Kidney Grilles from Trinity. 4/03/09 Installed Bimmian Shadow Matte Black 530i Badges. 4/04/09 Installed LED license plate lights from Trinity. 5/01/09 Installed Brabus Interior LED Kit and White Angel Eyes. 5/02/09 Put in Brabus 6K Fogs. 5/14/09 Removed charcoal filter. 5/15/09 Installed light smoke LED side marker lamps from Trinity. 5/21/09 Sprint Booster. 6/12/09 Painted exhaust tips flat black. 6/13/09 Pulled red Cal Covers and painted calipers low gloss black. 6/27/09 RPI Ram Air Scoop from Trinity. 8/15/09 Installed Brabus's silver invisibulbs front and rear. 9/24/09 Installed R-Dash license plate LEDs from Brabaus (John).
If somehow they could add more functional storage, that would be wonderful. The door pockets are useless, and the console and glove compartment are no great shakes. Oh, well, there's always that little net in the passenger foot well. That looks great stuffed full of crap.

What do you want in your next BMW?
aside from the legendary driving abilities of our BMWs
is the current interior and exterior ok?
how does it compare to Audi and MB?

*I want better interior design, BMW looks bored compare to Audi
*The cup holder design is fine for me but it should be better made/build, my cup holders have their own mind (Dont come out sometime)
*Better build quality, loads of rattles from the centre console and the rear roller blind, which rarely happened in the old bimmer eg E39
*Ipod, AUX in should be the standard
*No more RF tyres!
