One Month with the E70... my thoughts (and issues)

So I've had the E70 for just over one month now. (http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ew-me-e70.html)

Overall I'm very happy I decided to get an E70. I'm 100% certain I will be head over heels happy once I get new wheels.

Here's my One Month Review...
  • I cannot stand that I can only change the radio presets with my right hand. If there are two ways to change them, why are they both on the right side?!
  • I swear the side mirrors have a double-vision appearance.
  • I love iDrive.
  • Why in the hell are the death stickers permanent on the sun visors?!
  • I don't like how the fog light comes on with the turn signal.
  • Why are the inner AE rings brighter than the outer? P.S. I WANT the 2011 white AE's! Can I switch them?!
  • I love the folding mirrors... when I remember to push the button. lol
  • I have to basically punch the fuel door several times to get it to open. (Going to dealer on Monday to fix.)
  • The sunroof won't open all the way. No matter how many times I press the button. Today it got stuck open in the tilt position. (Going to dealer on Monday to fix.)
  • The 2-1 downshift is very rough. It throws me forward as if I hit the brakes. (Going to dealer on Monday to fix.)

I'm convinced these things are designed to fall apart once they turn three years old.
