Hi all,For me it would be these items (from the least important to almost necessary):Not specifically for BMW but to any cars out there.1) paddle shifter (the car is automatic anyway so D for me 99% of the time)2) bodykits 3) CD changer (believe it or not some ppl still insist despite iPod and usb/multimedia connectivity)4) Big alloys (for presentation only)5) 4WD (in the tropics? no thanks..no offense Quattro and 4motion lovers 
)5a) Sunroof (useless in the tropics for me)6) auto-folding side mirrors (nice to have though but use it often and it spoils easily from my experience)7) front passenger memory seat8) Sat-nav (most handheld and mobile phones GPS are far more advanced than built-in GPS)9) Headlight washer10) Rain and light sensor (especially the rain sensors sometimes either too sensitive or too late,same goes to the light)11) Reverse cameras ( nice to have)12) Keyless-go (but nice to have though)13) Park assist aka self-parking (very convenient in MY I think Merc B class and VW Touran? come with this as well as the upcoming Ford Focus)14) Front PDC (quite handy)15) Reverse sensors (needless to say,very important)16) Heated side mirrors (very important even in the tropics especially when it rains the condensation clears efficiently)17) Xenon headlights18) Side mirror mounted indicators (which BMW has this?)19) Electronic handbrake (becoming more common nowadays)20) Autobrake (new focus has this and some high spec mercs and volvos that I know of)21) anti-collision and proximity sensors (sounds like science fiction but I know volvos and perhaps some BMW ?)22) Traction control,airbags and ABS are a must! sadly not many cars in MY come with this yet.That's my 0.0002 cents of opinion. So let's hear yours..Cheers all..
