Great thread
I am a new BMW owner, and just come from GM/Opel/Vauxhall Saturn/Astra...
(Awaits flames...) Please be gentle. I'm not being funny, but I test drove an Insignia and the BMW was, frankly, disappointing from an interior point of view. Yeah yeah, I still bought the BMW The ergonomics for the driver were still better in the BMW in my opinion. And I wanted the "car", not the "armchair". Here's what I'd like to keep/change:

Exactly, always found current E90's look cheap for a Bimmer if they didn't have built-in GPS. Besides the existing GPS' provided by BMW and even more so since the iDrive update, are actually very good compared to existing systems and especially in comparison to other built-in GPS'.

I would love to see conventional tires but it will not happen. Every BMW should come with satellite, Ipod and bluetooth. I like that Infiniti has the same interior regardless of GPS or not but on cars without come with a basic screen but nonetheless it is an upgrade over the gap between Idrive and non-Idrive. Some reliability fixes would be nice life HPFP, issues with lifter noise, wheel bearings and window motors all of which seem to be more common than what would be considered desirable for a premium car much less a regular car. More non-metallic colors would be nice.

So far we all seem to agree that an LSD is a must. ARE YOU LISTENING BMW?

Well, we might very lucky and not only get LSD but the new torque vectoring rear end coming from X6... I think F10 has it, on the specs it says rear end with "steering function"... I am assuming that's it.

OK guys most of this stuff about wanting lsd's and moar power is gonna cost too much. Obviously they can't do everything, So instead of those niche things that only people that troll these forums want
I have constructed a list of ECONOMICAL changes that shouldn't cost them very much but makes a huge difference to the majority of customers that want or should be wanting a new BMW in this economy. Hopefully some of them will be made a reality. -Mirrors that tilt down when reversing to aid in parking. -A better looking key Fob -a key fob that contains the mastercard/visa smart chip technology. -iPhone media/calling connect standard everyone has an iPhone today anyways. -Maybe, Navigation standard or at least a screen to display media -Ability to connect to my iPhones 3G connection to pull up to date weather reports or traffic condition to be displayed on the standardized screen. -Better standard seats -Redundant Power cable to charge things like cell phones or laptops when the car is not running -heated seats in the rear -I want the space joystick light-up shift lever standard -Different color of fabric material for the boot, not this cheap grayish color -Exposed stitching on the seats, even the standard ones. gives a deleicate look -Power passenger seat as standard -Ability to use key fob to close all windows if I forge to close them -Ability to Turn on angel eyes for 1 minute by double clicking Lock to use as a light to open my door when it's dark. or to show of a car to potential customers -Much Much more liberal use of ambient lighting.They make a world of difference. -The current reading light console in the front and rear look like an afterthought, make it more organic looking. -Individually tailored driving dynamics for different key fobs, For example when i use my key fob it may driver sportier or when my wife's key fob is used it drives softer -Ability to set speed limits on certain key fobs (ma boys) -keep the chilled glove compartment that is mighty sexy i have a beer in mine always. -Add a 5th speaker for standard stereo, really it's like nothing. -Make the folding rear seats lie flatter, it's kinda hard to have sex in the back. -I don't know maybe it's just me, but the steering wheel isn't exactly in the middle of the drivers seat. Secret compartments in the glove box to store stuff like cigars, condoms, drugs, guns 007 heart defibrillators, etc. Basically, make it a womanizer's car, Bmw drivers have long been stereotyped as douche bags with sunglasses and a bluetooth headsets that care more about cars than the women we are trying to attract in the first place. -arthuryoung

Seriously though, a torque vectoring and steering rear end would really set this car off. I just hope the steering function doesn't add a ton of weight.

Accept it. The interior design will be taking a lot of cues from the 7 and the 5. I can already imagine what it'll look like. Now it's the exterior that must be ensured to be aggressive. Don't make it another variation of the recent exterior design direction (5, 7). It must kick ass and revolutionary.

A lot of the ideas people have put up are not realistic in my opinion.
I'm sure BMW knows that DCT is much better than the Auto we have now, don't you think? I'm sure BMW knows that an LSD is better than no LSD. I'm also sure that BMW knows that LIGHTER is better, so no need to mention such things. Those things have to do with price. However, some things that could be based on preference and not on price would be: Real oil dipstick. Memory seats that move with the push of a button instead of holding it. Climate Control OFF button instead of pushing it down 6 times. Window switches that don't make you get up from your seat just to reach them (E92 coupe). Sun glass holder instead of a stupid ash tray that I am sure 8/10 people don't even use. A USB port that does not require the passenger to get on their knees and search for it with a flash light. Temperature gauges instead of MPG gauges. (Common now WTF?! I've NEVER in my life seen a car without a temp. gauge until I owned a BMW).
