Your arent missing much on the iDrive! I specifically went for 2011 to get the new iDrive. I had the previous version in my 2006 330. I thought it was going to be head and tails above the previous version but it's not unless I am missing something (I'm an IT guy and can't find that much differance). I almost wish I did not spend the extra $2k to get it, the placement of the screen isnt great, I like it better in the 3er, it's more integrated into the dash. The media for the iPod doesnt need a large screen either.. |

HMMMM....
Dislike: -Navi display set up. The "scoop" thing just seems like its about the opposite of what you'd want to reduce glare. I hate to admit it but the 3 series "dome" is a better concept. -Brake Dust. I understand its a trade off for having stock Brembo built calipers but just annoying you have to get new pads + seal your wheels if you want only 1/2 the dust (which is still a lot). -Arm rest storage. I think the could have made the inside A LITTLE bit bigger don't you? -Angle eye inside halo bias. I hate that the outer rings don't light up as bright as the inners. stupid design on BMW's part. -OEM rear diffuser. It's like not quite cheap looking but just about as boring and cheap as you can make something on a BMW without people really bitching about it enough. They could have done something better, at least for Msport or ZSP equipped cars maybe. Maybe it could, I dunno... actually DIFFUSE something? -OEM Runflats. Do I even need to get into this? Love: EVERYTHING else about the car. Mod-ability is excellent too which is a big plus for all of us! |

The cramped interior, the way the gas pedal seems like it has "steps" you have to hit to get the next level of power, how quickly the DCT goes back to auto mode after grabbing a paddle, the wallowy suspension that doesn't feel too BMW-esque, the non-idrive iPod interface not scrolling backwards through the artists so that I have to go through everything to get to W and the iPod not remembering to stay or or start up shuffle in general. The suspension I'm going to take care of with the performance parts once I save up enough spare cash.

1. cup holder- i hate how my passengers just bump their knees into it. and i have to detach and attach it. and if i use the one under the armrest, i can't... rest my arm. and i have to detach and attach it.
2. arm rest- i wish it had bigger storage 3. amber corners- why.. oh why. 4. brake dust- the rest of the car looks clean by my wheels look like shit! i am suprised with the trunk space. it isn't as small as i thought it would be considering it is a coupe. i can fit my golf clubs in there vertically without a problem. and the seats fold down which is another plus. my back seat is pretty much my extra storage because no one sits back there anyway. |

Only a month in and here is a short list
1. Amber corners that are way too much to replace 2. Condensation on my dash from AC on with windows down 3. Wish it had more little storage compartments for little crap 4. Damn you CDV!!! Need to replace that thing quick. 5. How long it takes for windows to dry after you wash and roll down your windows 6. Tilting side mirror only comes when you order prem package! (2011, if I would have known I would of ordered it just for that reason) 7. Not many mods out yet for the N55. and it seems that most places are still working on stuff for the N54. (c'mon they already have tons of options ha ha ha ) Other than that, the brake dust sucks, but with matte grey Breytons, you can't even tell when they are dirty. (I keep them clean anyway) My Mini had bad brake dust also, but its worth it if you ever have a panic stop. Love the car and every car that I have ever owned isn't perfect and I am sure you could come up with a list of complaints for any car on the market right now.

most cars i've owned have had bad break dust problems.
I dont like how dirt gathers in the door jam then drips down the center of the side skirt since our door lines are so swoopy. pretty minor really. |

Hey you guys complaining about the gas tank size. This car takes a very long time to break in (20-25k miles) at which point your mileage will greatly improve. It isn't uncommon for me to see mid to high 30s actual, not car calculated, on highways and I have around 45k on the car right now.

SQUEAKING ARMREST!!!!!!!!!
RFT Brake Dust RTF DTC/DSC needs to be depressed after starting every time RTF attracts brunettes, prefer blondes RFT Base Suspension (Long Gone) RFT CDV RTF Wheel Offsets but I'm lucky, I have free sunroof, 10spkr audio (not HK), nice looking side mirrors, Ashtray w/ cover (looks better), BMW performance suspension, 6MT, NO HPFP (NA).... |
