Anybody miss features other brands offer?

an3ony · 06-15-2012, 10:04 PM

I've had my car for about a month now, and this is the one feature I miss that my 2006 Audi A4 2.0tq 6mt had. The doors locking after about hitting 10mph.

E90Company · 06-15-2012, 10:13 PM

Mine do the same. BTW you can get alot of features through coding.

Doctor///M · 06-15-2012, 10:15 PM

yup, some simple coding will get you back what was once lost

SLCGoonski · 06-15-2012, 10:18 PM

Doors locking after 10mph...very annoying in my book. Also wears out the locking mechanism (especially on some brands) far too quickly.

You should be able to program auto locking without coding. My 08 E93 does it with one of the menus available with a button on the stalk. (non idrive)

idrive FTW......settings and done

Was going to mention that is already doable without any coding but to keep the topic up I miss my rear view camera but it's not really a necessity for me.

you can buy a rear view that integrates REALLY well into your idrive (and front view if needed).

although most people ive talked to seem to disagree, i miss the knob to control the sunroof from my old A4. i think it's way more convenient and intuitive than the standard "switch/button" control.

like the one in the lexus IS series? i think it's TERRIBLE!

My VW GLI's trunk would raise when popped. Very conveinient when your hands are full.
I miss my manual - (my fault).

John 070 · 06-16-2012, 06:43 AM

I miss the pee cup in my Volvo. It's hard to always find a bathroom in Manhattan.

abcommercial · 06-16-2012, 06:46 AM

Folding rear seats. Standard on every other make/model.

328iCoupe · 06-16-2012, 07:09 AM

I still like playing my CD's. My Accord had a 6-CD changer on the dashboard. Great for long trips. Bimmer only has 1.

A spare tire.

BoricuaE92 · 06-16-2012, 07:36 AM

A dipstick

My Limited Slip Diff in the G35... Why is a DIFF not standard on all 3 series the " Ultimate Driving Machine? " My E30 325is had an LSD DIFF.

Other than that enjoying the car 100%
