What feature that your car doesn't have do you most want???
I guess this is the right place to put this, if not mods please move, but I'm just curious, what do you guys wish was featured on your A/S8 that isn't? Whether it be something another brand offered, something that hadn't been thought of when the car was built, or simply an option you missed.
For me, I sure wish the D2 had adaptive cruise.

Auto wipers on the d2 and auto lights too. Had them on our '99 Citroen and they'd been on BMWs for years by the time my '8 was built
That and proper steering wheel controls without having to go non-Sport on the steering wheel Other than that, nothing much I miss having

1. Glass sun roof rather than metal - my build sticker tells me its glass but it ain't.
 2. Satnav with full postcode entry. 3. Auto wipers/lights.

ACC. And I have a yen for the newly developed LED headlights that can stay on high beam while dimming the elements necessary to leave oncoming drivers undazzled. Magic

Check out this vid. Starts getting interesting after 1:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dvPZ3H1Vm4 -its witchcraft!! Can't wait to get my hands on a new S-Class when its out in September to test out the LED headlights with this feature. BMW 7-series and X6s can be spec'd with this at present. Alas, my A8 has hardly any options (surprising considering it started life as a demo car) but I would love the solar sunroof and B&O stereo
