Optional extra you wish you had...

What one option do you wish your car was specified with?

For me it would be the speaker upgrade as I find the standard set up pretty poor...


* I mean factory fit options

An actual factory fit option or made up one?

I'd go with Xenons as my factory option as Halo's are rubbish & a V12 engine capable of doing 75 MPG even when driving enthusiastically as my make belief option :thumbsup:
 
I change cars quite frequently :oops: & the majority of extras i can take or leave ,

Features i have had in the past & do miss if current car does,nt have them are bluetooth connection , heated seats & heated steering wheel

Probably the most indulgent extra was having programmable keys that set the seat , steering wheel & mirror position to each drivers choice ,
That was on a 6 series , nice touch :driving:

Most other things aren,t deal breakers for me but just nice to have / the voice command stuff i find a gimmick that was never used
 
Heated steering wheel. Have most of the other extras.

Saying that I don't tend to drive my car lots and in the morning when it's freezing it's going to be 0.01% of the time so would like to have but don't actually need it
 
I added the heated wheel quite late after ordering, nice tweak I use more often than I thought I would. Low cost extra. Miss it in my daily drive. Would get again.
 
i have everything but folding mirrors... which I sometimes find annoying :?

I must agree that heated steering wheel is far more important than you'd think :driving:
 
i specced mine exactly as i wanted it and as such have never regretted not adding anything else..... i use the heated steering wheel almost everyday up until the middle of summer
 
Cruise control would have been nice.. I also wanted voice control and Ruby Black paint but I wouldnt have minded Oxford Green either..
 
A s54 would have been nice. I won't start a thread about that :rofl: but I will hopefully be adding a little FI next year to at least get close on Bhp and tourqe if not the same delivery of power.

Next up would have been the LSD that coms with the above engine. But I have one of those on order not the same type but still a LSD. I have just realised I am building a down market ///M and it's probably going to cost me more than the ///M would have :headbang: ah well that's car modding!!!
 
I think the rain sensing wipers would be cool,,,, sometimes the delay wipers just aren't slow enough.

I've had rain sensing wipers on a few cars. They never work quite as well as I think they should. The ones on my Z4 are ok
 
Bluetooth & heated seats are always a must have for me but my 330i hasn't got xenon`s & its the first BMW I have had without them & I do miss them not only do they look better but they are effective too.
