Where's my dip stick?
While I'm on the subject I miss the temperature gage my E53 had as well. It was always nice to see that my engine was running cool on hot days in traffic. And once the gage saved me from overheating and being stranded on a super highway when a cooling hose ruptured. As the temperature started to climb I was able to safely get off the highway before the E53 overheated. I guess with the E70 there is a temperature light that comes on but I won't know if its just getting overly warm or I'm seconds away from a total meltdown. Other than these observations I am loving the ride (M suspension) and solid construction of my new (2013) truck.

You could add a P3 gauge from Turner to see temp, batt volts, etc. Works well.

Yeah, there's several of those 'features' that I love about this car. Dipstick? Worked great for a hundred years. Let's eliminate it. Ebrake handle? It's in the way. Replace it with a problem prone button.

Parts that are over-engineered and last too long(not enough revenue)? Just make them out of cheese-problem solved

Right I forgot to mention the missing emergency brake handle. And the concept of a hide-a-key. Now I have to store a $400 key fob if i want a hidden key.

I keep the remote in the car and the tiny physical key in a magnetic box under the car. The remote always stays in the glove compartment, on the left side there is a slot to store the key fob. The worst that can happen is to lose the actual key which I never use anyway.
