I really want ventilated/cooled seats. Why do I need to go up to the 5 series for this? I think a Ford Fusion has it for $30k less.
Pretty much everyday I drive to/from Chicago I get out of the car with a hot/sweaty back. Why even shower to go to work? I'd pay the $$$, just want the option and I have zero desire for a bigger 3 series much less the 5 series. BMW thinks I aspire to own the bigger more expensive car, not the case.

I agree with this. I've had BMW cars with two different systems for the cruise control: a stalk, or steering wheel buttons. With the stalk (E34 and E90 had it) there was no master button and cruise control was available at the press of the stalk. With the buttons (E39, F10 and F22) the steering wheel buttons include one that turns the system on and off and interrupts cruise. To me it is a poor design philosophy to have a control that does different things with the same action, depending on the state it was in when you pressed it. It means you have to look at something else -- a status light in this case -- to confirm what you have done, and you can do this only after you have done it.

Kinda a stupid comment. You have a thread asking what you hate about the car, I post what I hate, and then I get your response?
Well, because the Ford offers 1 item that I wish my BMW had, it lacks everything else. Either post something useful or move on.

I wanted to check something on iDrive so I got in the passenger side (easier in the garage). Came back from walking the dog and noticed light coming through the garage windows. Learned that the parking lights that come on with iDrive only go off when you open the driver's door. |

Total distortion. Poster says "X is better and $30K cheaper". Commenter says, "So, why not drive X?" Poster says, "Stupid comment, get lost." A reasonable question, a rude non-response instead of an answer.

Unfortunately, for those who mentioned it, headliner grab handles cannot be retrofitted, per BMWAG feedback to BMWNA when questioned.

Two pushes, and two pulls. I'm getting tangled up getting out of the car. First I have to shut down the engine. Then somehow I have to let the clutch out (habit makes me shift to neutral first) before I push "Start" again, otherwise, guess what? The engine starts again. So: parking brake on, shift to neutral, clutch out, now another press of the Start button to shut off the electrical circuits. Now, clutch in, shift to first gear. At this point I am too tired to pull twice. So I leave the doors unlocked while driving.

Am I the only person that hates third gear?? I see lots of posts/threads about 2nd gear, but I have zero issues with second - feels great. High rev match down shifts suck it right in, and 1-2 feels nice and crisp. I find 3rd notchy and occasionally miss/struggle to get it in on the 2-3 shift.

If you have electric seats you can program the number 2 spot to have the left mirror dip down. I do this when I backup every time. Then I just press number 1 and it goes back. |

It's similar to saying "I love my iPhone, but I wish it was waterproof like the Samsung" and then someone saying "why not get the Samsung"? It's ridiculous, and surely you can see why. If you can't, the answer is that the poster obviously likes their 2-series as a whole more than they would like the Ford, and the missing feature (vent seats) is not enough to outweigh everything else and make them want to buy that car.
