New features you would LIKE to see.

For me, the feature I would want most is a key fob that can find the car. There are already after maket devices for sale that "sort of" do the job, but I find them to be unreliable.

I would like to have a fob that when pressed points the direction, indicates the distance, and elevation of my car.

Any features you desire that do not exist?

Interesting choice.... According to the governor of the Great State of California, the feature he would like to see is the driver being eliminated from the car.

Doesn't a BMW app already do that?

Don't many parking garages in CA have cameras and can search by license plate? At least my preferred malls do?

right now i don't want to add but to improve.

i would like my trunk to actually open when i swipe my foot under the car. it works sometimes. i like the feature but only when it works. i look like an idiot when i'm at the grocery store with my arms full and getting frustrated by the minute bc my trunk is not opening. oh and it doesn't work for me if the key is in the car instead of on me while i'm standing in front of my trunk. odd right?

I have it on my droid had to use a work around to get it on, but it's not released officially in the US. I can remotely unlock and find my '12 X5.

(is this thread in the right place?)

The only time i lose my car is when I'm driving the CEO's ride.
I come out of the mall/store looking for the X and it's not there.
Then I remember!! "Brain freeze"..... No finder Key fob/app needed.

Yup, not elevation though. I used it to bust the valets at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead for joyriding in my car at 6:00 AM.
