What changes would you like to see on E70

[SpeedR]

In the hopes that BMW sometimes looks at these things, what changes would you like to see made to the E70.

You are not limited to one selection in this poll. Select as many changes as you like. Also, please post if you select "Other" with the change not on the list.

ok I don't see a poll (edit: fixed), but I have a few suggestions:

A real rear camera

A normal key start process. Insert & twist

Option to turn down the volume of the rear park assist and warning tones

that's all I can think of right now.

I just want bluetooth to become a standard option...

and truex5er, what's wrong with the rear backup camera?

Mine displays white (snow) in brown, and my driveway (black) in green. It's also blurry. I never use it. I just use the PDC w/ the diagram.

Also another one for faster iDrive.

The BMW engineers should go test drive a Lexus to see what a real camera looks like.

Well it doesn't snow in florida...THANK GOD because no one here knows how to drive in the rain to begin with, so one can only imagine what would happen if it did snow...

Florida Highway Patrol would be pretty busy I'd imagine working accidents

I agree. At night, the rear camara view on my wife's IS-350 looks like it has night vision! Our street does not have street lights, but I can still see every detail with her camara. On the E70 I test drove at night, all I could see was a black screen with a few specks of light. Of course I could also see the overlay on the black screen - really helpful
