It's great that you guys keep claiming that this is not possible but if you'd like I can post a video of it doing this cause I think I'm going crazy or something.... I'm completely convinced my eyes are not deceiving me...

I didn't want to read all 6 pages to see if anybody posted this stuff, but here are a few of my wishes:

- Move the power window buttons toward the back of the car two inches. It's embarrassing to pull up to the Starbucks drive-thru every morning and accidentally roll down the back window.
- Add an option for ventilated seats. I'd pay extra for that in a heartbeat.
- Add an option for heads up display. I'd pay extra for that, too.
- Change the NAV setup so that I don't have to retype the entire name of the street when I find out that I need to get directions to Unbelievably Long Name Boulevard NE instead of Unbelievably Long Name Boulevard NW. I just want to backspace one character.
- Change the iPod shuffle to "shuffle" to another random song when I hit "next" instead of switching to sequential mode every time I want to skip a song.
- Let me buy individual options in the USA.

1. Sunroof that Automatically closes if it begins to rain

3. Tougher Windsheild
4. Tougher Paint.
5. Slotted / Cross Drilled Rotors for Sports pkg.
5.5 Ceramic Pads (too much brake dust)
6. Paint inside of brake rotors so they don't rust
7. PDC (frond & rear) should show distance in inches on iDrive screen
8. TPMS should show actual tire pressure.
9. Dip Stick
10. Spare, Jack and lug tool set
12. Be able to set the timeout for the welcome lights when you unlock the vehicle. (they turn off too quickly)
11. I think I need an extra gear in the transmission for 90mph on cruise control

They must have, or someone played with your car's settings. No one is saying that it is impossible - on the contrary, it is a known fact that outside N.A. it acts just like this, so it is a matter of programming. It is just that BMWNA has this feature disabled and I am sure most E9x owners will tell you the same. What year is your car and where did you get it from? Any aftermarket piggies installed?

Hopefully for 2k11, the price will go down 5-6 grand. Hey, audi did it for the redesigned S4. BMW is gonna get knocked off their mighty throne. In some weird way, I think they peaked from a co./product offering perspective in about 2k6. To think there are 328i sedans listing for 52k, that's absolutely crazy. When the E92 was speculation, the talk was that it'd cost 55k.

Do you think that perhaps a dealer could enable this feature? I might try my luck next time I'm in for this damn center console rattle.
