Impressions - mostly not necessary in this group. I was about rady to cut out that black condom that pops out in the pass-though to the trunk but then I went skiing for the first time EVER and found a use for it. :)

Autolock doors would have been nice. I forget until I'm in a bad area at a light with the kids in the car...

Cupholders: I've read the proponents arguments and they are weak. At least I have Carmel leather because I drink coffee on the way to work. There is a limit to how much "fun" you can have in traffic.

CD player. If BMW can put a tape deck behind the GPS, then why not a cd player? The rear changer is hard to get to at 80mph.

Questions: Wheels. Can anything be done about this brake dust? It's far worse on this car than any previous I've owned. Also on the subject of wheels, the dealer attempted to dissuade me from going with aftermarket wheels but I'm not fond of any of the BMW wheels. Are there brands I should look for or steer claer from?
