If I might interject: puddle lights...very cool!

uf, how about the interior amenities?
Radio: does it automatically turn itself up at louder engine/surrounding noises? This is a neat little feature my wife's car has (Audi). And her heater maintains the same temp in the cockpit, whatever is set, automatically. The blower in my car has two positons, full heat and off. I keep the windows down a lot in the summer.

And another nifty discontinuous innovation: BMW offers, on the pricier models (?SAV option), a passenger's side rearview mirror that tilts down to show the curb whenever the car is placed in reverse. I thought for sure this would be a real hit for other auto manufacturers. Maybe it was only offered on BMW's because of the extraordinary cost of replacing one of their rims.
