What little things do you like in your BMW?

For me its when you touch the radio presets and the display tells you what they're programmed to before you fully press it.

The "guns and drugs" compartment under the boot floor with the divider - It's the perfect size for safely transporting takeaway curries without the fear of them redecorating the boot + contains the smell

For me it's the fact those buttons aren't just for radio presets (in fact, button one lists my favourites and I use all the others for other functions).

Being able to press 2 to phone home, 3 to set nav to home eye etc is a great touch.

They look even better against Mineral White. Take my word for it they really do.

And the fact they're still physical buttons and not a bloody touch screen, so you can feel them without having to take your eyes of the road.

It's right in front of us MSport drivers but the steering wheel is freaking good. Great size, weight, looks and leather, pure class.

Another one, the seats!

So supportive and huggy. I have a bad back, don't even have the lumbar adjustment on my car but the seats are great, especially down low. I spend much of the week in hire cars with work and most other cars kill me (except bizarrely the insignia )

Yeah agree on the seats, must say I'm never suffering after some epic 3 1/2 HR stints with no breaks.
