2010 X6 5.0 - What they didn't get right ...

I bought this as my first BMW. I'm not complaining, but I made a list of things I would have beat on my engineering team about ...

- Oil Consumption
- iPod Kit
- HUD Display Programmability (there's lots of things that COULD and SHOULD be up there, and can be with coding, but we have no easy access to them.)
- Configurability
- Day/Night Switching
- The need to switch on / off park distance control
- Continuous chime for the seatbelt if my computer is on the front seat with me!
- Entry assist handles - both sides
- No AD2P audio streaming
- Lack of auto fold on the mirrors
- Lack of satellite traffic & weather
- 6 hour VDO load time!
- Did I mention oil consumption?

At the same time, there are lots of things I like.

- Handling
- Power
- Seats/Seating position
- Vertical cameras
- Interior sound levels
- Heating/AC/Ventilation

Where it seems they miss is in the "convenience" features. I admit to having a bend for technology, but these things don't seem to get the thought. I can forget about them while in motion with my foot mashed to the floor!

Those of you with newer models - has the focus changed?
