I was just thinking about the many post I read regarding features on BMW's that are not offered on US models, but are offered in other regions of the world. Here's my question...how often would you use the options and features you so crave? I'm talking about things like high beam assist, and rear fog lights. Not the technology things that are developed after your purchase. ie...improved x-drive or a 6 speed tranny. If any of you are like me, hell I don't use half the stuff I have now...heated seats in Houston...once or twice a year, Voice recognition, once or twice a year, Navigation system, really...five or six times a year. (Although I keep the map up all the time), Hill Descent and Pathway lighting ...never and both of my X5's came with these feature. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bells and whistles kind of guy, but at the end of the day, do we really want these things, or do we want to say we have them? Just a thought for the group to ponder........Phil
