My complaints are a bit different and basic:

1. Road and/or tire noise on less than ribbon smooth road surfaces, at highway speeds is unacceptable. I would suggest more insulation in these areas and better tire and wheel technology. BMW should have one of the premier tire manufacturers develop an ultra quiet tire for the I7.

2. Do away with the tacky “crystal” seat & other controls. These do not belong in any vehicle, let alone The Ultimate Driving Machine.

3. Lose the faceted, plastic light bar across the dash. Again, I find it to be glitzy, tacky and just so un-BMW LIKE. The ambient lighting in the current MB S Class is SO much more elegant. Much less shiny, black, dust catching, fingerprint grabbing, plastic would also be much appreciated.

4. I would much prefer another roller type volume control on the steering wheel, with a “push to mute” feature as on the console, but again, NOT the crystal material. The previous generation MB metal, “knurled” rollers were fabulous.

5. The HVAC vents need to be larger and provide more airflow. I have not yet experienced summer with my I7 and IÂ’m worried.

6. For the automatic doors, there should be a “close” button at the top, rear of the upholstered door panel. Trying to use the button on the dash when exiting is too tricky.

7. Make the glass roof OPTIONAL! It serves virtually no purpose and I would SO much prefer an all steel roof or one with an old fashioned “moon roof.”

8. More physical knobs, buttons & switches for the more basic functions.

9. A storage space for eyeglasses.

10. More effective shading from front sun visors. Right now, there are too many areas that the visors do not cover.
