(Joke begins) but the radar alarm would be constantly triggered in the NY/NJ area and then you'd ask for codes for stopping it (joke ends).

Then we would code it to detect properly paved roads, then it would work properly and won't bother anyone, since it'll barely beep if any at all..

The possibility to zoom in surround view because most of the time it's too small to see clearly things close to the car

I agree with this, it's way too far, at least they should maybe offer side view options or add side cameras.

Let me add to the list, secondary front or lower bumper cameras to see what's immediately in front of the vehicle. Current front camera is great for sticking the nose out and seeing both sides, but it doesn't help you see what's immediately in front or how close you are to a wall.

Remote Start is against European codes and regulations...you can't leave your car unattended with engine on for more than 10-15min...(or even less I suppose...)
it's not that BMW couldn't add this feature to its line up...I don't suppose any other German|European car carries this feature?!

the Audi has remote start. mmm...i'm gonna miss being able to start my car from the kitchen and walking into a warm car... PLUS it cranks up the defrosters so many times I don't even have to clear my car if it's not too heavy.

Remote start seems to be important to you in the US, is the "S0536" parking warmer equipment not available for US-BMW's?

My Wish List for F15 LCI:
- Laser headlights
- LCI introduced in MY2017

Remote start will probably not happen since it is not allowed on cars in Germany by law. That's why German cars don't come with remote start unfortunately. But wishes are always granted lol

Dear BMW Santa:

-Remote Start...Some need it to warm the car, I need it to cool the car during those hot summer days.
-Definitely need a solution to the fenders instead of installing an ugly mud flap. I can never enjoy a post-car wash. There are random puddles in the streets and no way to avoid them and it just splashes on the sides over the bottom of front doors
-Screen mirroring of my phone would be my number 1 wish. I love google maps way better then the stock BMW maps. Google updates it more frequently and I get traffic jam assist, an option I have that doesn't work in these parts I guess.
