This is one of the items I'd like to see there already from the factory and I wonder why BMW hasn't put any these kind of features there already. It's just a button and few extra lines in the software.

My 2004 4Runner has just exactly this button. It locks the center diff. (At the same time it disables the traction control and stability control). I find this damn useful in both deep snow and off-roading in soft conditions. It makes the car much more directionally stable in conditions where wheel slippage is likely. And traction control and stability control can deplete needed forward momentum in certain circumstances, and do more harm than good.
