Oh yeah, I forgot about the lack of a factory in-dash CD player. That's about absurd for a $40k+ car in 1999. :lol: Not really a big deal, just another thing that leaves me smirking. None of those quibbles would keep me from buying one.

Even more annoying than the no auto-up on the rear windows with the sedan is the no auto-close for the sunroof!Comment

For instance: no inside trunk release? no inside fuel door opener? Every car I've ever had has had both of those features (and a tilt wheel, fwiw), but the M did not.
Tell me why you need either of these and I'll buy into this argrument.
The trunk release is ON THE TRUNK, why would you need it in the car? I want the release for the device to be on what I'm opening not ten feet away inside the door panel of the car. I'd hate to be standing by the trunk and having to fumble for my keys on an unlocked car to get it open. BMW's design is light years ahead here.
Same thing on the fuel door, tell me why you need a release on it. It's only locked when the car is locked. I don't know anyone who goes to the gas station, gets out to pump gas and locks their car in the process of going from the driver side to the passenger side fuel door. I hate the one in my sister's jetta where I have to find it on the door everytime, it's just plain annoying.Comment

I really hate when I have to grab my girlfriend's honda and its time to pump gas. I park the car at the pump, get out and walk to the grab the pump handle, and then realize that I have to go back inside and pull the release. Or I get out of the car to go open the trunk and make the same mistake.Comment

No one *needs* anything, I was merely commenting on the fact that these are features that most people simply assume will be part of a car and were not. I was making an observation; an observation I found humorous. Nowhere was this a belittling of the M3.

Honestly, on any car with an inside trunk release, you can still open the trunk from outside the car. Just turn the key on the trunk lock and it opens. No need to walk 10 feet.

No one locks their car, this one is purely aesthetic. Having a totally flat fuel fill door seems nicer, makes the car's body flow better, than having one with a "finger handle" pressed into it. Plus, when you own a car that has that feature, it becomes second nature; there's no "finding," you just reach down and open it.
Anyway, no argument needed, though I suppose I've given some of it. :thumbsup:Comment

I lock my car every time I walk away from it. Even if I am going to be standing next to it....Comment
