If You Could Trade-Out a Feature/Function . . .
. . . WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I think I'd ditch that lying, cheating, incessantly fluctuating and eternally fictional instant gas mileage readout . . .
FOR . . .
either a COMPASS or a current TRIP TIME readout.
What would you folks wish for?

I would like to see the option of high performance regular tires and a mobility kit instead of the mandatory runflats on the MCS. I would also like the xenons to be bi-xenons, all other BMW engineered cars have had them for years now.

golden_child, that was an early retrofit part, not like the current one at all. The new one uses a different e-brake console to accomodate the hinge.
But thanks for thinking of me!

OMG Yes! That is the one thing I miss from my old car is having a freaking compass. And I know I could get a sticky globe to put on the dash but that looks stupid. I just want a compass I can put in the OBC, I am always looking at temp anyways, rarely use any of the other stuff.

I want to ditch the Diamler Chrysler/BMW engine and the upcoming pugeot engine for a true BMW degisned and built engine. Then give us a TRUE SMG like out of the M3

Standard/optional features I'd like to see added-
Whalen shift **** or similar for all transmissions
GPS with compass built in- all within Trip computer
In dash Laser detector with indash signal or lights
Built in Boost gauge for all MCS.
Things to loose-
Those heavy MINI stock rims- find a way to lighten them without sacrificing strength or durability.
For those with cabrios- get some more durable materials for the cabrio top- seems like many tops aren't lasting long- even with normal use and less than a year.

I'm not sure what I would trade for, but the OBC is really not worth anything. I wish they would leave it off whatever package it's part of. I'd rather have something worthwhile like... maybe money off so I could put it toward just about anything else.

I like it JUST the way it is.
Run it hard,
Cool it down, and
don't put it away wet

I'd gladly trade:
1. the clock in the speedometer for a clock over the mirror
2. the mode button on the dash for a mode button on the steering wheel
3. the nintendo buttons on the front of the wheel for proper buttons on the back of the wheel
4. 6.5"x16" wheels for some lighter 7"x16"
5. an over priced JCWs kit for the Getrag AWD system
It's late, maybe I'll think of some more after some sleep
