Default All the above & the little things that make a big difference

Plusses
Steering wheel sculpted just so
Potential to astonish passengers and myself
Adjustable heating for the seats
Adjustable arm rests
Flip-down NS parking mirror. (Missed that since sold last beemer back in 99)
Invisible front screen heating element, & It's so fast clearing the frost
VAG keys
The sunroof switchgear
Solid, rational, understated, quality, totally competant

Niggles:
Need a change box. Need a Card holder. Where to put sunglasses???
Blanks in the dash (this one really pi**es me off)
Can't reach the radio/satnav controls (I had cars in the mid 80's with em on the column)
Irrational cruise control controls (does that make sense?)
Can't get enough of it. I have to admit that this may also be a plus

Best of all.....
The clunk of the door closing..... from inside
That glorious sound when you let those horses fly
The sheer delight of flooring it out of a loose wet gravelly junction
