)Card Key push button start - I believe MB already offers something like this as option.

)Central Information/Computer/Nav/Stereo system
- MB already has this
)No Mechanical Emergency Brake
-Who cares?
)First 6 Speed Electronic Transmission
-This is good!
)330 HP Engine
-Probably not for the US. We'll get something in the 320s most likely. The Q45 has 340hp
)Better Cup Holders most likely!!!
-Yes, I saw a prototype E65 6 mos ago (disguised) and it has the same type of cup holders like the E46 - right out in the open, ugly as all get out. Like a SUV! Hope they offer a cover in the E65.
)In Dash CD CHANGER - S500/E38 don't have that
- But the Japanese have had it for a long, long time. Just in time to be replaced by DVDs!
)Push button sports shifting - S500/E38 don't have that. But the Lexus GS does. And it doesn't have the column mounted gear selector, like a Buick!
)Better Stereo System most likely
-Don't bet on it. Hasn't happened before.
)42v Electrical System - Revolutionary!
-We'll see. I'd wait a few years to let it sort out. Remember the 850's "revolutionary" I-bus electronics? Nightmare.
)Better looking than an ugly S series
-In your opinion, perhaps. In my opinion, the E65 is a dog. I have been a BMW owner/lover since 1968, and this E65 looks like a loser. But, again, we need to wait to see it in the metal to make a final determination.
