Otherwise the car is great. Would not have paid for satellite radio, heated steering wheel or nav system. Now my wife says these are minimum requirements for any cars going forward!!!! ..and we have only had it for 5 months....

Actually I feel that the the running boards are useless (other than potentially saving from door dings) and they infact dirty my trousers more than if didn't have them. Bad design on BMWs part, should have made them at a lower level than the door sill, I thought the purpose of these things was to provide a step to make it easier getting into the higher riding vehicle. They should be retractable so that you can extend them only if needed.
I would like to add though that my wife loves them
The only thing I could go for was either the 3.0 twin turbo diesel, or the 4.8 V8, but couldn't justify the price for those options
